This statue depicts Guru Padmasambhava, the enlightened master who established Vajrayana in Tibet. He embodies transformative wisdom and the subjugation of obstacles.
At Arhatrupa, we take great care to ensure that each statue follows established iconographic forms and is crafted with respect for lineage-based symbolism.
Our intention is to offer works that may serve as visual references within ritual, contemplative, or devotional contexts, according to the practitioner’s own tradition and understanding.
This statue is handcrafted in Nepal using time-honored metal-casting traditions.
Artisans begin by sculpting a detailed wax model, which is encased in layers of clay and fired to create a mold.
Molten copper is then poured into the mold, and once cooled, the statue is carefully cleaned, hand-carved, and refined, reflecting craftsmanship passed down through generations of artisans.
A consecration service is available upon request and is performed by experienced Buddhist practitioners using traditional ritual methods.

Guru Padmasambhava
Revered as the Second Buddha in Tibetan Buddhism, Padmasambhava is also considered as a manifestation of Amitābha Buddha, the Buddha of infinite Light, representing the enlightened power of speech. In the Tibetan Buddhism, enlightened beings are said to have three essential qualities – body, speech, and mind – and Padmasambhava is especially connected with the power of speech, helping to teach, guide, and awaken others through his words and blessings. Padmasambhava is said to have transform end the lives countless beings through the transmission of Vajrayāna teachings. Besides doctrinal transmission, he is also said to have subjugated local deities and spirits, transforming them into protectors of the Dharma, thus integrating indigenous beliefs within the Buddhist cosmological framework.
Padmashambhava played a central role in the construction and consecration of Samya Monastery, the first Buddhist monastery in Tibet when he was invited by King Trisong Detsen in the 8th century. Hence, he is celebrated as the one responsible for the transmission of Tantric Buddhism to Tibet and is credited with laying the foundations of Nyingma, the oldest of the four major schools of Tibetan Buddhism. According to historical and terma (treasure) accounts, he subdued malevolent spirits and local deities obstructing the establishment of the Dharma, converting them into Dharma protectors—a pivotal act that allowed Buddhism to take root in harmony with indigenous Tibetan beliefs.
