Here, Padmasambhava is seated in radiant golden splendor upon a multi-colored lotus, sun, and moon disc. Wearing the lotus crown, he is attired in the secret gown, monastic robe, and brocade cloak. With one face and two arms, he is seated in the royal vajra posture while displaying a slightly wrathful smiling expression. In his right hand, he holds a golden 5-pronged vajra. In his left hand, he clutches a skull cup containing a long-life vase. In the crook of his left arm, he cradles the tantric khatvanga trident staff, the hidden form of his divine consort. Seated above his right shoulder is the white Lord of Compassion, Chenrezig. Seated above his left shoulder is Buddha Amitabha—Lord of the Lotus Family to which Guru Rinpoche belongs. Seated upon a multi-colored lotus, sun, and moon disc close to his right knee is his consort Mandarava holding a long-life arrow with mirror in her right hand and a vase in her left. Seated upon a multi-colored lotus, sun, and moon disc close to his left knee is his consort Yeshe Tsogyal offering him a skull cup. All are exquisitely attired.

In light of the rising cost of original thangka paintings, we are pleased to offer these thangka reproductions which are printed on canvas and enhanced with the addition of delicate strokes of golden paint by a skilled artist.
