Hand Painted Padmasambhava/ Guru Rinpoche Tibetan Thangka Painting Original Art with High-Quality Silk Brocade

The Tibetan Thangka Painting featuring Guru Rinpoche/Padmasambhava is a stunning Buddhist art. Buddhism first came to Tibet in the 8th century, when the Indian master Santaraksita and King Trisong Detsen began constructing the first monastery. However, they encountered resistance from local spirits, prompting the King to invite Guru Padmasambhava to help subdue them.

Guru Padmasambhava was renowned for his extraordinary abilities, particularly in pacifying spirits. At the King's behest, he traveled to Tibet and engaged in magical battles with the indigenous spirits, ultimately binding them by oath to protect the Dharma. Even today, the legacy of his victories is evident in the valleys and villages of Tibet.

The King, Santaraksita, and Guru Padmasambhava were pivotal in establishing Buddhism in Tibet. The King erected temples, Santaraksita ordained monks, and Guru Padmasambhava, with his profound teachings and potent practices, propagated Tantric Buddhism. His role was not just significant but indispensable. He also concealed religious treasures across the Himalayan region in anticipation of a future threat to Tibetan Buddhism, which would be unearthed centuries later by destined seers.

Guru Padmasambhava, the revered figure in Tibetan Buddhism, continues to be deeply respected by many, especially those within the Nyingma school. His presence is not a distant memory but a living tradition. He is believed to exist still, residing at the level of spontaneous presence and demonstrating unwavering compassion for all sentient beings. He possesses the ability to bestow blessings and fulfill wishes instantaneously.
