Dorje Legpa, also known as Vajrasadhu in Sanskrit, is a prominent protector deity within the Nyingma tradition of Tibetan Buddhism. Originally venerated in the pre-Buddhist Bon religion as a god of gambling and war, Dorje Legpa's role transformed significantly with the advent of Buddhism in Tibet. According to tradition, during the 8th century, the tantric master Guru Padmasambhava subdued Dorje Legpa, binding him by oath to serve as a protector of the Dharma.
