Exquisite gold plated statue of Vajrapani, the guardian bodhisattva of the Vajrayana. His name means "the vajra holder," for he holds all the hidden teachings of the secret mantra school. He carries a snake lasso to bind the demon of self-cherishing the second it arises. Vajrapani stands in a swirling inferno of wisdom fire which incinerates the causes of all obscuration and disease. Every year, at Pema Osel Ling, we practice Vajra Armor, which is a powerful healing sadhana of Vajrapani.
