Guru Padma Sambhava, popularly known as Guru Rinpoche, the precious teacher was a powerful Tantric Buddhist Master. He subdued many harmful spirits and forces that hindered the spread of the teachings of Buddha Shakyamuni. With his miraculous powers, he taught many disciples who also became perfect masters of Tantric Buddhism. He is said to have twenty-five great disciples who were instrumental in preserving the sacred teachings of Lord Buddha to the present day.
Guru Rinpoche’s body is golden in color and is attired in a gown, a monastic robe, and a brocade cap. He has one face, two arms, and is seated in the posture of a king. In his right hand, he holds a vajra scepter and in his left hand, a skull cup containing a vase of immortality. In the curve of his left arm is his divine consort of bliss and emptiness in the form of the khatvang Trident.
Deities visualized in consort union are Yab Yum. Yab means literally “father” and Yum means literally “mother.” This gives a sense of the concept of YabYum as a higher emanation of Buddhas — it’s the highest of visualized practice, Highest Yoga Tantra — because it is a complete visualization combining the Enlighted Compassion and Wisdom as Father and Mother, not just one, or the other.
