Spiritual Leader, Guru Padmasambhava | Second Buddha of Tibet | Founder of Vajrayana Teachings

A masterful spiritual leader, Guru Padmasambhava Thangka, hand-painted on fine cotton canvas in our Enlightenment Studio with natural stone colors and enriched with genuine 24K gold. Executed in the traditional Karma Gadri style, this thangka highlights clarity, spacious composition, and delicate detail, allowing Guru Rinpoche’s sacred presence to radiate with divine luminosity. Using natural pigments keeps the colors bright and long-lasting, and the gold accents add a touch of spiritual richness to the painting. This makes it a timeless piece that can be cherished both for devotion and as a beautiful collection.

Guru Padmasambhava, also known as Guru Rinpoche, is a revered and influential figure in Tibetan Buddhism. He's celebrated as the Second Buddha for his vital role in bringing Buddhism to Tibet in the 8th century. As a tantric master, he overcame hostile forces and laid the foundation for Vajrayana practice across the Himalayan region. In this beautiful thangka, Padmasambhava is depicted sitting gracefully on a lotus, symbolizing his miraculous birth. He gently holds the vajra in his right hand, representing indestructible wisdom, and a skull cup in his left, signifying mastery of esoteric teachings. Resting against his shoulder is the khatvanga staff, symbolizing his perfect blend of skillful means and wisdom. Every detail of this painting captures his enlightened presence, making this thangka a meaningful object for deep reverence, meditation, and spiritual inspiration.
