Exclusive Lotus-Born Master Padmasambhava Thangka | Second Buddha of Tibet | Holding a Vajra and Skull Cup
The Lotus-Born Master Padmasambhava Thangka is an exquisite masterpiece, meticulously hand-painted using natural Lhasa stone colors and authentic 24K gold on high-quality cotton canvas. Executed in the esteemed Karma Gadri style, this artwork vividly represents Padmasambhava through vibrant colors and detailed gold accents. The rich stone colors and luminous 24K gold make this thangka a visual masterpiece and spiritual symbol, embodying Padmasambhava's wisdom and energy. Created in our Enlightenment Studio in Kathmandu, Boudhanath, Nepal, this authentic thangka maintains the heritage of traditional Tibetan thangka craftsmanship passed down through generations of master artisans.
Padmasambhava, also known as Guru Rinpoche, is one of the most revered figures in Tibetan Buddhism, credited with introducing Buddhism to Tibet in the 8th century. He is often called the Lotus-Born Master because, according to legend, he miraculously appeared on a lotus flower in a lake in Oddiyana, a region believed to be in present-day. Guru Rinpoche is considered a master of tantra and a highly revered figure in the Vajrayana tradition, known for his ability to tame spirits, protect Buddhist teachings, and impart secret tantric wisdom. His life and teachings are considered essential for spiritual development and for removing obstacles on the path to enlightenment.
In this thangka, he is depicted seated on a lotus throne, a symbol of purity and divine wisdom, with his right hand holding a vajra, signifying indestructible wisdom, and his left hand holding a skull cup, representing the transformation of obstacles into spiritual wealth. His serene expression reflects his mastery over both the material and spiritual realms. The intricate use of 24K gold on his robes and jewelry enhances the divine radiance of his form. The soft, flowing clouds and tranquil mountains in the background amplify his role as a protector and spiritual guide, creating a serene and powerful visual presence. This thangka captures not just his physical appearance but also his spiritual essence, filling any sacred space with blessings and wisdom.
Invite the wisdom and protection of Guru Rinpoche into your home—bring this divine Padmasambhava Thangka today and experience his transformative energy and spiritual guidance.
