RELATED ARTWORK
Theme: Transforming Obstacles
The great Indian tantric master Padmasambhava sits on his lotus throne. In his right hand he holds a vajra while in his left hand he holds a skull cup, two critical objects used for esoteric Buddhist practices. While bringing Buddhism to Tibet, he encountered many obstacles including the indigenous spirits that were hostile to the foreign religion. Using his mastery, Padmasambhava subdues and defeats these spirits.
