Iconography of Guru Rinpoche
The Khatvanga, a staff topped with a Trishula and adorned with a sash of the Himalayan Rainbow or Five Pure Lights of the Mahabhuta, is a powerful symbol associated with Padmasambhava. It has three severed heads representing the three kayas (the dharmakaya, sambhogakaya, and nirmanakaya), making it a key part of his visual representation.
He has his eyes wide open, gazing intently. He is wearing a white vajra undershirt, followed by a red robe, a dark blue Mantrayana tunic, a red monastic shawl with a golden flower pattern, and a maroon silk brocade cloak. His body has one face and two hands.
He holds a five-pronged vajra in his right hand, which is placed over his heart, and a skull cup with a vase of immortality inside it in his left hand, held in a gesture of equilibrium. His left arm cradles a three-pointed Khatvanga, symbolizing his partner Mandarava, and he wears a five-petalled lotus hat on his head.
He sits in a regal pose, radiating a brilliant light with both his wrathful and smiling visage. His grandeur is highlighted by the major and minor marks that decorate him.
Mantra of Padmasambhava
