Guru Rinpoche, also called Padmasambhava, is often shown sitting comfortably in a special meditative pose called vajrāsana, which shows he’s calm and steady like a mountain. In his right hand, he holds a vajra—a symbol of powerful compassion and strength. His left hand holds a skull cup filled with a magical nectar called the vase of immortality, which represents wisdom that never fades. Resting on his shoulder is a unique staff called the khaṭvāṅga, decorated with symbols that remind us of his deep spiritual powers and his connection to the feminine wisdom energy. On his head, he wears a lotus hat with a feather, showing his special role as a protector and teacher. He sits on a beautiful lotus flower, which means he’s pure and enlightened, untouched by the troubles of the world. Every part of Guru Rinpoche’s image tells a story of his great wisdom, kindness, and his power to guide and protect those on the spiritual path.
