Original filePema Jungne, one of the eight manifestations of Padmasambhava, representing eight important events in the life-story. At the bottom center, in front of a shrine, the siddha Jogipa is offering a flower to an image of Red Avalokiteshvara[1]. Surrounded by Siddhas of the Vajrayana. NOTE from alternate contributor: this may not be Pema Jungne as it does not match the description of him: Guru Pema Jungne (Wylie: pad ma 'byung-gnas, Skrt: Guru Padmakara) Lotus-arisen, the Saviour who teaches the Dharma to the people. He is shown sitting on a lotus, dressed in the three robes of a monk, under which he wears a blue shirt, pants and heavy Tibetan boots, as protection against the cold. He holds the diamond-scepter of compassionate love in his right hand and the yogi's skull-bowl of clear wisdom in his left. He has a special trident called khatvanga of a wandering Yogi, and wears on his head a Nepalese cloth crown, stylistically designed to remind one of the shape of a lotus flower. Thus he is represented as he must have appeared in Tibet. source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Padmasambhava pigments on cotton fabric
