Hand-Carved Guru Rinpoche Empowerment Sculpture for Meditation and Ritual
We have meticulously hand-carved this Guru Rinpoche empowerment statue in our studio. Depicted with a semi-wrathful appearance, the Lotus-Born sits majestically on a moon disc lotus seat with his left foot extending forward while holding a vajra and a skull vase with a jar of immortality in his left and right hand, respectively. He can also be seen holding the Khatvanga trident, his celestial ally of bliss and emptiness, in the arc of his right hand. This statue is fully comprised of oxidized copper, giving it a classic antiquated look.
The additional gemstones to the statue adorn the deity. It is the perfect keepsake for devout individuals like yourself, suitable for use in Buddhist rituals, and will make a magnificent addition to your altar.

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.
