Hand-carved Buddhist Sculpture of Guru Rinpoche
The beautiful sculpture of Guru Rinpoche was made utilizing traditional Himalayan techniques with months of handwork and determination. The statue is carved out of pure copper and glided with genuine 24k gold in our studio. To give perfect detail to the deity, we used acrylic paints. Guru Rinpoche was believed to have taught Vajrayana in Tibet and is credited for introducing Buddhism in Tibet. He is depicted with a piercing gaze with a semi wrathful expression seated upon a moon disc lotus. Padmasambhava holds a skull cup, Dorje, with a long tantric staff resting on his shoulder. You can use this figurine for different Buddhist Rituals and meditational practices.

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.
