Premium Gold-Gilded Tribute to the Spiritual Triad of Tibet, Guru Rinpoche, with Trisong Detsen & Santaraksita

This exquisitely made monument represents the core of Tibetan Buddhism, including Guru Rinpoche, King Trisong Detsen, and the famous Abbot Santaraksita. These three individuals are regarded as significant forces in the founding of Buddhism in Tibet.

Guru Rinpoche, also known as Padmasambhava, is a respected tantric master, and Trisong Detsen is the Tibetan King who championed the expansion of Buddhism. The scholarly Abbot, Santaraksita, was essential in combining Indian and Tibetan Buddhist teachings.

Each statue has been painstakingly plated with pure triple layers of 24k gold to capture the regal and sacred nature of these spiritual giants. Vibrant acrylic paintings and deeply engraved embossed patterns lend layers of richness and historical dimension to the statue. The sturdy copper body assures that the artwork is timeless, oozing both spiritual significance and longevity.

Padmasambhava Rinpoche, Guru Rinpoche
Guru Rinpoche, also known as Padmasambhava, played an important role in the spread of Vajrayana Buddhism in Tibet. He was invited to Tibet in the 8th century to help establish Buddhism and conquer the antagonistic forces opposing its spread. He is often referred to as the "Second Buddha." Guru Rinpoche's teachings and approaches, particularly those relating to Tantra, have remained central to many Tibetan Buddhist practices. He is frequently shown holding a vajra (a tantric ritual instrument) and a kapala (a skull cup), both of which represent his vast insight and the fleeting essence of life.

Trisong Detsen, King
King Trisong Detsen is regarded as one of Tibet's Dharma Kings. During his reign in the eighth century, he was instrumental in the establishment and spread of Buddhism in Tibet. Many prominent Buddhist scholars and teachers, including Guru Rinpoche and Santaraksita, were invited to Tibet by the king, establishing the kingdom as a significant center of Buddhist learning, practice, and culture. Samye Monastery, Tibet's first Buddhist monastery, was built under his sponsorship.

Santaraksita
Santaraksita, a brilliant Indian scholar and monk, was essential in creating the philosophical foundations of Buddhism in Tibet. He was invited by King Trisong Detsen to blend Indian monastic discipline with Tibetan cultural context, resulting in the creation of a unique Tibetan Buddhist monastic order. His teachings merged the Madhyamaka (Middle Way) philosophy and the Yogacara practice, both of which greatly influenced Tibetan Buddhist thought. He played a crucial role in the construction of the Samye Monastery and the ordination of the first Tibetan monks.
