Padmasambhava Eight Forms (Dorje Drag) | Eight Forms Main Page | Padmasambhava Main Page

This is a nine painting set of compositions depicting the Eight Forms of Padmasambhava. Secondary figures of teachers and meditational deities are presented above and various protector deities and specialized figures below. There appear to be two types of dominant tradition represented by the Nyingma teachers above - the Dorje Drag and Mindrolling monasteries.

Two of the compositions are unaccounted for at this time.
