Guru Rinpoche, also honored as Padmasambhava and regarded as the Second Buddha, was instrumental in the foundation of Vajrayana Buddhism. In his left hand, he holds a kapala, a skull cup that contains the vase of immortality, symbolizing spiritual wealth and victory over death. His right hand grips a vajra, representing steadfast wisdom and clarity of mind. Resting on his shoulder is the khatvanga trident, a powerful tantric symbol signifying control over the three realms of existence. This trident also represents the Three Kayas: Dharmakaya (the ultimate truth or essence of reality), Sambhogakaya (the enjoyment body experienced by advanced practitioners), and Nirmanakaya (his manifested form guiding others). Wearing a lotus crown decorated with a feather, Guru Rinpoche radiates profound wisdom and enlightenment, seated in a serene yet vibrant posture that blends peaceful meditation with compassionate action.
