This Dorje Drollo statue is a wrathful emanation of Guru Rinpoche (Padmasambhava). However, this Dorje Drollo has its own unique characteristics exclusive of Padmasambhava. Dorje Drollo rides a tiger sidesaddle surrounded by the flames of pristine awareness. The flames consume all neurotic states that can delay spiritual realization. Additionally, he has the expression of a fierce deity with three glaring eyes. The three eyes symbolize his knowledge of the past, present and future.
He wields the vajra in his right hand which symbolizes the union of mundane knowledge and the ultimate wisdom. Furthermore, he wears the vulture feather on top of his lotus hat similar to Guru Rinpoche and he has realized the highest view. Every element of this statue carries meaning — from the khatvanga staff to the lotus hat. Learn more about Guru Rinpoche statue meaning and iconography.
