Description Guru Rinpoche is the revered second Buddha, Padmasambhava. His expression is wrathful or semi-wrathful, and he wears a lotus hat, symbolizing his mastery over samsara. In this statue of Guru Rinpoche, his right hand forms a teaching gesture, while his left hand holds a vajra (a symbol of spiritual power) or a ritual skull cup. The vajra symbolizes his indestructible nature and cutting ignorance; the skull cup, mastery over ego and transformation of negative emotions; and the khatvanga, spiritual accomplishment and wisdom. He typically sits atop a lotus throne or rides a mythical creature, both symbols of his transcendent wisdom and compassion. He is a teacher, protector, and guide who helps practitioners overcome obstacles on the spiritual path. More than a work of art, this Buddhist statue serves as a meditation tool, guiding practitioners to visualize guru and connect with his wisdom and blessings.
