Traditionally Carved Buddhist Lord Padmasambhava Statue
Master artisans in Nepal made this Lord Padmasambhava Statue in our studio. We made the figure from copper, hand-carved it, and gilded it with genuine 24K gold. The three kayas on his staff, painted with acrylic, stand for desire, form, and formlessness. He sits on a lotus seat, holding a trident, vase, and vajra, with a semi-wrathful expression. It took months of hard work and dedication. We used a hammer and chisels for the intricate carving. Only professional artists with years of experience can do this delicate work.
This statue of Guru Rinpoche has accurate traditional iconography and fine details and will be a perfect gift to a devotee like you from Nepal.

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.
