Standing at 14.96” (38 cm) tall with a base of 10.63” (27 cm) and weighing 5.54 kg, this copper sculpture is meticulously adorned with triple layers of 24K gold gilding and vibrant acrylic paintings. The deeply engraved carvings produce a magnificent 3D-like effect, radiating an aura of tranquil wisdom ideal for any sacred space.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGuru Rinpoche is typically depicted seated in the royal posture (one leg folded, the other slightly extended), symbolizing readiness to benefit beings while remaining in meditative equipoise. He sits atop a lotus pedestal, representing his miraculous, pure birth from a lotus and his transcendence over worldly defilements.  In his left hand, he holds a kapala—a skull cup containing the vase of immortality—symbolising spiritual abundance and triumph over death. His right hand wields a vajra, signifying unshakable wisdom and mental clarity. Resting against his shoulder is the khatvanga trident, a potent tantric emblem representing mastery over the three realms of existence. This trident also embodies the Three Kayas: Dharmakaya (ultimate reality), Sambhogakaya (the blissful form perceived by advanced practitioners), and Nirmanakaya (his manifested form to guide sentient beings). Crowned with a lotus hat adorned with a feather, Guru Rinpoche exudes profound enlightenment and insight, seated in a calm yet dynamic posture that harmonizes meditative stillness with compassionate activity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 14.96”\/38cm (Height) x 10.63”\/27cm (Base)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5.54 kg\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e 24K Gold Gilded, Acrylic Paintings, Copper Body, Gemstones, Handcarved Gemstones\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGuru Rinpoche, or Padmasambhava, is revered as the 'Second Buddha' who introduced Tantric Buddhism to Tibet in the 8th century.
