Iconography & Sacred Assembly

This Thangka reveals the "Khen-Lop-Cho-Sum" triad, the three founders of Tibetan Buddhism. Every figure represents a stage of awakening.

Central Figure – Guru Rinpoche (Padmasambhava)

Guru Rinpoche sits at the heart, royal and unshakeable. His complexion radiates with the power to tame all negativity.

• Gesture: The right hand holds a vajra, conquering obstacles.

• Sacred Object: The left hand holds a skull cup containing the vase of immortality.

• Presence: Commanding — radiating the ultimate protection of the Lotus Family.

Top Realm – The Source of Blessing

Three celestial figures float above, representing the Trikaya (Three Bodies) of Buddha.

• Samantabhadra (Center): The Primordial Buddha in union with his consort. They symbolize the naked, sky-like nature of the mind.

• Chenrezig (Left): The Bodhisattva of Compassion holding a crystal rosary and lotus. He represents pure love for all beings.

• Amitabha (Right): The Buddha of Limitless Light. He represents the pure land source from which Guru Rinpoche emanated.

Lower Realm – The Earthly Founders

The two figures below represent the historic establishment of Dharma in Tibet.

• Abbot Shantarakshita (Left): The Great Bodhisattva Abbot. He signifies monastic discipline and logical wisdom.

• King Trisong Detsen (Right): The Dharma King who invited the masters. He represents the perfect lay practitioner and patron.

Sacred Background & Landscape

Guru Rinpoche dwells in a spacious, verdant pure land. The background blends earthly beauty with celestial vision.
