In Tibetan Buddhism, Dorje Drollo is a furious incarnation of Guru Rinpoche (Padmasambhava), representing fierce compassion and protection. With an angry expression, a crown of skulls around his head, a vajra and phurba in his hands, and flames all around, he is shown as having the ability to change bad energy. Dorje Drollo, riding a pregnant tigress, represents his control over wild elements. He transforms toxic emotions into enlightened consciousness and offers protection from bad influences and impediments. Practitioners ask for his blessings to be courageous, fearless, and empowered. Chanting "Om Ah Hung Benza Guru Pema Siddhi Hung," his mantra, summons his powerful powers of transformation and protection.
