Guru Wrathful Vajra (Guru Dorji Drolo)

Guru Dorje Drolö, a wrathful manifestation of Guru Padmasambhava, is depicted with one face, two arms (right hand holding a vajra scepter, left a Kila peg), and a fierce stance atop a pregnant tigress. Surrounded by flames, he symbolizes the dynamic path to enlightenment, where even wrath serves compassion and wisdom. As a protector and obstacle-remover, he embodies the sometimes paradoxical nature of this journey.
