His name means "Lotus-Born," and he embodies supreme truth and can appear in countless forms. In his right hand he holds the Vajra, a representation of a lightning bolt or a diamond, which is the symbol of power.
In his left hand, Padmasambhava holds a human skull cap, symbolizing the overcoming of death, with a vase containing the elixir of immortality Against his shoulder leans the magician's staff topped with a trident. Historically Padmasambhava was the Indian prince responsible for the introduction of Buddhism into Tibet during the eighth century.
