Who is Padmasambhava?
Padmasambhava, also known as Guru Rinpoche, meaning “Precious Guru,” is regarded as the Second Buddha by followers of the Nyingma school of Tibetan Buddhism. A legendary teacher from the 8th century, he is credited with bringing Vajrayana Buddhism to Tibet and Bhutan. Revered as a master of meditation, mysticism, and transformation, Padmasambhava embodies the union of wisdom and compassion.
His mantra and teachings reflect a profound non-dual understanding of reality. Devotees believe that invoking Padmasambhava brings spiritual protection, inner clarity, and profound guidance on the path to enlightenment.
Chocolate Oxidized Antique Finish
This statue features a rich chocolate-color oxidized patina, carefully applied to evoke the authentic aging of century-old copper artifacts. Unlike superficial coatings, this artificial oxidation process adds lasting depth and character while also protecting the statue against natural tarnishing.
The result is a vintage aesthetic that exudes timeless reverence, making this Padmasambhava a powerful visual and spiritual centerpiece.
Elegant Silver Plating
Crafted with precision, the statue is fully plated in genuine silver, giving it a refined and luminous finish. The silver layer is applied by experienced artisans to ensure even coverage and a flawless, polished appearance, enhancing the elegance and sacred significance of the piece.
Gold Painted Face – Sacred Detailing
The face of Padmasambhava is hand-painted in gold, highlighting expressive features such as the eyes and lips. This sacred ritual transforms the statue from a crafted object into a spiritually awakened figure, ready for consecration or personal devotion.
This sacred touch adds life, presence, and a subtle spiritual energy that cannot be achieved through metalwork alone.
Crafted by the Lost-Wax Casting Method
The statue is created using the traditional Lost-Wax technique, also known as investment casting. This ancient and meticulous process captures every fine detail of the original wax model, resulting in a sculpture of remarkable clarity and craftsmanship.
From sculpting the wax to pouring molten copper, each step is performed by highly skilled artisans, ensuring a spiritual object of deep artistry and lasting quality.
