Pemasambhava Pema Jungne Biographical Details

Padmasambhava holds a vajra in the right hand and in the left a white skullcup containing a long-life vase ornamented at the top with the Buddha of Long-life, Amitayus. Surrounding the vase are many colourful wish-fulfilling jewels. At the top center is a very small depiction of the primordial Buddha Samantabhadra special to the Nyingma Tradition of Tibetan Buddhism.
