Padmasambhava with the vajra upraised (Guru Nangsi Zilnon) is often associated with meditational forms of the subject as opposed to simply being a devotional representation. The Longchen Nyingtig Refuge Field compositions often depict Padmasambhava with the vajra raised. This form can also be found embracing the consort Yeshe Tsogyal. There is also a 'secret' form of Guru Nangsi Zilnon.
