Introduction To Dorje Legpa
Dorje Legpa (also known as Dorje Lekpa or Vajra Sadhu) is an essential figure in Tibetan Buddhism, particularly in the Nyingma and sometimes Kagyu schools. He is one of the Eight Dharma Protectors (Dharma Protectors), powerful guardian deities charged with protecting Buddhist teachings and practitioners. Dorje (Vajra in Sanskrit) is a symbol of indestructibility and force. Legpa/Lekpa means "skillful" or "good," hence his name might be translated as "Skillful Vajra" or "Indestructible One Who Acts Well."
How do take care of your statues?
• Place them at room temperature, avoiding direct sunlight.
• Make sure that the area where your statue is placed is completely free of moisture and dust.
• Place it at the highest place on your altar after being consecrated by Lama/monks. The best practice is to keep them covered inside a
glass cabinet.
• Do not use your bare hands or any objects with a rough surface to wipe the face. Directly touching with the bare hand objects can
smudge the face, leaving scratches.
