Guru Rinpoche, also known as Padmasambhava, is honored as the Second Buddha and pivotal in establishing Vajrayana Buddhism. In his left hand, he holds a kapala, or skull cup, containing the vase of immortality, symbolizing limitless spiritual abundance and victory over death. His right hand grasps a vajra, embodying unwavering wisdom and mental clarity. Resting against his left shoulder is the khatvanga trident—a tantric emblem of his spiritual consort and dominion over the three realms. This trident also signifies the Three Kayas: the Dharmakaya (truth body of ultimate reality), Sambhogakaya (bliss body experienced by advanced practitioners), and Nirmanakaya (manifestation body that appears in the world for the benefit of beings). He wears a crown adorned with a lotus and peacock feather, symbolizing enlightened wisdom in its highest form. Seated in regal posture, Guru Rinpoche exudes a presence of awakened activity, effortlessly uniting serene stillness with compassionate power.
