Guru Rinpoche is shown standing to represent his active role in spreading Buddhism and overcoming obstacles. His steady posture shows strength and authority over the cycle of rebirth. He wears layered robes that blend monastic and tantric elements, reflecting his mastery of both paths. On his head is a distinctive lotus hat adorned with sun and moon symbols, representing wisdom and compassion, and topped with an eagle feather, symbolizing his mastery of Dzogchen (Great Perfection). He holds a vajra in his right hand, symbolizing the unshakable nature of Buddha’s teachings; a skull cup (kapala) in his left, representing wisdom; and a khatvanga trident, which stands for the Three Jewels—Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha.

For most Himalayan Buddhists, Guru Rinpoche is the second Buddha, the Buddha of all forms and teachings of enlightenment, focusing on the tantras. Tantra teaches us to initially see our instructors as Guru Rinpoche, just as the Great Way leads us to see our enlightened nature and name it Buddha-nature. Then we view everything as Guru Rinpoche, down to the atoms of our bodies, all beings equally, and every scrap of every blade of grass, every grain of sand. Finally, it is Guru Rinpoche who we realize when we recognize our natural, timeless awareness.
