Traditionally Hand Carved Padmasambhava Statue for Meditation & Ritual
This exquisitely carved Guru Padmasambhava statue makes use of delicately created traditional Himalayan themes and patterns. The statue's luster and brilliance come from the gold leaf that has been applied to its copper body. The statue shows the Lotus-Born sitting majestically on a moon disc lotus seat, holding a vajra and a skull cup with a jar of immortality in each hand. In the arc of his left hand, he holds the Khatvanga trident, his celestial ally of bliss and emptiness.
Since many centuries ago, we have been creating old Vajrayana statues like this one. A perfect addition to your Buddhist Altar and a gift for any devout.

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.
