Oxidized Copper Lotus-Born Deity Guru Rinpoche Sculpture | Protector of the Sacred Dharma
The Padmasambhava Lotus Born Deity, who introduced Buddhism to Tibet, is represented by the monument, which reflects his profound insight and transformational power. This sculpture, which stands 9.4 inches tall, 6.3 inches wide at the base, and weighs 1.44 kg, symbolizes the strength and grace of Guru Rinpoche, who is often regarded as the second Buddha in Tibetan Buddhism.
The statue is made of an oxidized copper body that helps prevent corrosion and preserve the underlying copper structure. Padmasambhava is depicted seated on a lotus throne, holding a vajra in his right hand and a skull cup carrying the nectar of wisdom immortality in his left hand. A "khatvanga" (sacred trident) with three severed heads leans on his left shoulder, symbolizing freedom from the three principal causes of misery (kayas). His robes are wonderfully molded with exquisite decors, and his unique cap is topped with an eagle feather on top.
