Guru Rinpoche, also known as Padmasambhava and revered as the Second Buddha, played a key role in the spread of Vajrayana Buddhism. In his left hand, he holds a kapala—a skull cup with the vase of immortality—symbolizing spiritual richness and victory over death. His right hand holds a vajra, representing firm wisdom and clear understanding. Resting on his shoulder is a khatvanga trident, a tantric symbol of mastery over the three realms of existence. This trident also stands for the Three Kayas: Dharmakaya (ultimate reality), Sambhogakaya (blissful form for advanced practitioners), and Nirmanakaya (his form to help others). Wearing a lotus crown with a feather, Guru Rinpoche shines with profound wisdom, sitting calmly in a posture that unites stillness with compassionate action.
