The Sacred Dorje Drollo Figure | Fierce Protector of the Dharma
Sacred Dorje Drollo Figure measures 26 cm in height with a 19 cm wide base and weighs 2.03 kg. Made from a copper body, it features elegant gold coloring enhanced by detailed gold and acrylic paintings. Its refined artistry and spiritual significance make it a perfect addition to your altar, meditation space, or sacred art collection.
Dorje Drollo appears with a fierce, wrathful expression—wide eyes, bared fangs, and a wild mane—not from anger, but as a symbol of compassionate power to overcome obstacles and ignorance on the spiritual journey. In his right hand, he wields a vajra, embodying unbreakable wisdom that slices through delusion. Uniquely, Dorje Drollo rides a pregnant tigress, representing control over primal forces, the cycle of life and death, and the harmony of wisdom with skillful action. His lively stance shows his readiness to conquer challenges, while his three eyes reveal his all-encompassing insight into past, present, and future. Above his halo, a mythical bird signifies wisdom, and the surrounding flames illustrate the purifying, transformative nature of his compassion.

Dorje Drolo is a wrathful manifestation of Guru Rinpoche (Padmasambhava), renowned for his fierce, transformative energy and role as a Dharma protector. It reflects the syncretic process of Buddhism’s establishment in Tibet, where local spirits and deities were subdued and integrated into the Buddhist cosmology through such wrathful forms. Dorje Drolo is a powerful symbol of the fierce compassion and spiritual strength necessary to overcome obstacles on the path to enlightenment, embodying the dynamic and protective qualities of Guru Rinpoche’s enlightened activity.
