Dorje Drolo, or the Wrathful Vajra, is one of the eight manifestations of the legendary Buddhist master Padmasambhava. Revered as the Second Buddha in Tibetan Buddhist culture, Padmasambhava is believed to have manifested as the wrathful Dorje Drolo to fly to 13 places named Tiger’s Lair (Taktsang) and subdue local deities. He bound them by oath to protect his teachings and imprinted his hands and feet in the landscape.
