Oxidized Guru Rinpoche Tantric Guru Statue | Also Known as Padmasambhava
Experience the presence and power of Guru Rinpoche, the revered Tantric master, through this stunning 22-inch statue. Made up of oxidized copper and carved with deeply engraved carvings that produce a magnificent 3D-like effect. This sculpture, handcrafted by expert Nepalese artisans, elegantly symbolizes Himalayan Buddhism's sacred traditions, making it an appropriate addition to altars, meditation places, or sacred collections.
In his left hand, he holds a kapala, a skull cup containing the vase of immortality, symbolizing inexhaustible spiritual wealth and the wisdom that transcends life and death. In his right hand, he wields a vajra, representing indestructible clarity and unshakable insight. Resting against his shoulder is the khatvanga trident, adorned with symbolic elements, representing his tantric consort and mastery over the three realms. This staff is also a profound symbol of the Three Kayas—the Dharmakaya (truth body), Sambhogakaya (bliss body), and Nirmanakaya (emanation body)—revealing his realization of the full nature of Buddhahood. A lotus and feather crown adorns his head, symbolizing purity and the highest realization of the Buddhist view. Seated in regal posture, one leg folded and the other extended, he embodies enlightened presence and compassionate activity, a master of both samsara and nirvana. Guru Rinpoche's story is not just history—it is a living inspiration, reminding us that awakening is always possible, even in the midst of this world.
