Traditionally Hand Carved Tibetan Guru Rinpoche
We have exquisitely hand-carved the art of the Tibetan Guru Rinpoche in traditional Himalayan style with a pure oxidized copper body. The deity sits upon a moon disc lotus draped in monastic robes and a crown signifying his importance. He holds a vajra in his right hand while a vase in his left, his tantric staff (khatvanga) surmounted with a trident in the fold of his arm resting upon his shoulder. The skillset to handcraft such deities has been passed on for generations. We assure you that the materials used for the statue are of the highest quality.
This Padmasambhava art will be a tremendous gift for 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.
