The Dorje Drolo Main Page has been updated with additional images and information.
Dorje Drolo is a wrathful emanation of Padmasambhava and most often associated with the set of Eight Main Manifestations and the life story of Guru Rinpoche. He also functions as a guruyoga practice/meditational deity.
For the purpose of subduing daemons and spirits of Tibet and the surrounding Himalayan regions Padmasambhava, at the thirteen mountain retreats each known as the Tiger's Den, appeared as the wrathful Dorje Drolo. At many of these locations Guru Rinpoche left impressions of his feet and hands in the rocks. The Eight Manifestations of Padmasambhava belong to the Revealed Treasure (Terma) of the Nyingma Tradition of Tibetan Buddhism.
