Guru Shapdum, also known as Zhabdrung Rinpoche, is a highly revered figure in Vajrayana Buddhism, particularly within the Bhutanese tradition. He is a form of Guru Padmasambhava (Guru Rinpoche), considered the "Second Buddha" and the great tantric master who established Vajrayana Buddhism in Tibet and Bhutan. Guru Shapdum embodies the union of wisdom and compassion, the heart of Vajrayana Buddhist practice. He is often depicted alone or in union with his consort, representing the inseparability of method (kindness) and wisdom, an essential teaching for attaining enlightenment in tantric Buddhism.
