Traditional Oxidized Statue Of The Lotus Born Guru Rinpoche
The Oxidized Statue Of The Lotus Born Guru Rinpoche has been diligently hand-carved in the classic Himalayan manner, with a body made of pure oxidized copper. The deity is depicted sitting on a moon disc lotus while wearing monastic robes and crowns to denote his stature. His tantric staff (khatvanga), topped with a trident, is resting on his shoulder, holding a vajra in his right hand and a vase in his left. People have passed down the knowledge necessary to make these deities for years. We can tell you that the statue was made from only the best materials. We used acrylic paints to highlight the facial attributes of the deity. It is also used on the Trident. The lotus hat, necklace, edge of the robe, and earrings are adorned with precious gemstones. The figurine weighs about 11.14 kg, and it took us months and months of hard work and total devotion to complete it.
This statue 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.
