Traditionally Made A Practice Of Padmasambhava Sculpture
We are the Kathmandu valley artists who have meticulously handcrafted the A Practice Of Padmasambhava Sculpture in the traditional Himalayan Art style. He is depicted sitting on a lotus seat, holding a vase with his left hand, a vajra in his right, and a trident on his left arm. He has a wrathful facial expression, highlighted by acrylic paintings. We molded the figurine with copper, and afterward, it was gilded with real 24-karat gold. The beautiful design patterns on the lotus hat, robe, and lotus seat were hand-carved using a hammer and different chisels. The statue is embellished with priceless gems, corals, and vintage turquoise in the shape of a lotus hat. We have also painted the trident with acrylic paintings. The deity is adorned with precious gemstones on different parts.
This delightful hand-carved Guru Rinpoche statue would benefit your meditation practice.

For most Himalayan Buddhists, Guru Rinpoche is the second Buddha, the Buddha of all forms and teachings of enlightenment, focusing on the tantras. Tantra teaches us to initially see our instructors as Guru Rinpoche, just as the Great Way leads us to see our enlightened nature and name it buddha-nature. Then we view everything as Guru Rinpoche, down to the atoms of our bodies, all beings equally, and every scrap of every blade of grass, every grain of sand. Finally, it is Guru Rinpoche who we realize when we recognize our natural, timeless awareness.
