The Guru Tsokye Dorje statue weighs 3.30 kg and is 13.6" (34.5 cm) tall with an 8.3" (21 cm) base. It is made of 24K gold-gilded copper and features delicate gold and acrylic paints. The statue, which shows him seated on a lotus, represents his miraculous birth and spiritual purity. His vajra, or dorje, also symbolizes the indestructible quality of knowledge and compassion of his deep teachings.
In the statue Guru Tsokye Dorje is seen carrying a skull cup (kapala), signifying the turning of defilements into knowledge. He carries a khatvanga staff on his shoulder as a symbol of his spiritual strength and tantric achievements. The five skulls on his crown represent the five poisons (ignorance, attachment, aversion, pride, and jealousy) being transformed into the five wisdoms. The statue's wrathful expression is a potent symbol of his transformational and protective abilities as it conveys his amazing capacity to overcome ignorance, defeat evil forces, and shield practitioners from danger.
