十六/十七世紀 銅錘疊蓮花生像

Padmasambhava, also known as Guru Rinpoche
or Precious Teacher, is highly revered by all four
great Buddhist sects in Tibet, where the Tibetans
refer him as the second Buddha. The present lot
can be clearly identified as Padmasambhava from
his characteristic attributes of the vajra crown, the
earrings, the cloud lappet collar and the attributes
of the vajra and the skull cup he is holding together
with the khatvanga trident in his arm.

蓮花生大師對西藏佛教有着極其深刻的影響，在西
藏受到廣泛崇拜，也被稱為第二佛陀。此尊頭戴蓮
花帽，右手持金剛杵，左手托嘎巴拉碗，左肩挾三
叉戟杖，均為蓮花生的典型法器。
