Beautiful and one-of-a-kind hand painted thangka of Guru Rinpoche. The thangka does not have a brocade border and there is some damage, such as fading, slight tears and possible water damage. Please refer to pictures. This thangka would lovely set in a frame!

In Tibetan Buddhism, Guru Rinpoche or Padmasambhava is a character of a genre of literature called terma, an emanation of Amitābha that is said to appear to tertöns in visionary encounters and a focus of guru yoga practice, particularly in the Rimé schools. The Nyingma school considers Padmasambhava to be a founder of their tradition.

A number of legends have grown around Padmasambhava's life and deeds, and he is widely venerated as a "second Buddha" by adherents of Tibetan Buddhism in Tibet, Nepal, Bhutan, the Himalayan states of India, and elsewhere.
