Garab Dorje Statue Gold-Plated 9"

Beautiful  Gold-Plated 9" Garab Dorje Statue. Guru Garab Dorje, who flourished around 55 C.E., was the first human teacher of Dzogchen according to Tibetan Buddhist tradition. He was born in the land of Uddiyana and received transmissions directly from Vajrasattva and Vajrapani. Padmasambhava, who was responsible for establishing a lasting lineage of Dharma in Tibet, is said to have received transmissions directly from Garab Dorje. This statue can be opened for filling and consecration. There may be slight differences from statue to statue, due to the fact that these are hand made items from Nepal. Please note:       Thangkas, Canvas Prints, and Long Life Arrows are large fragile items that ship in long boxes, and shipping these can be expensive. If you are either:              A)   ordering other products with your large fragile item, or              B)   shipping priority You may receive an invoice for an additional shipping fee.         To insure the quality of your large fragile item, other products usually must ship in a separate box. Additionally, priority shipping with long boxes (especially international) is often more expensive than the initial estimate.        In these situations, we will show you what we are being charged for shipping ourselves, and let you know what your options are- you can still change or cancel you order at that point if you would like to.        Also, when shipping USPS International, Long-Life Arrows and thangkas (with a bottom dowel measuring 25 inches or more) will only ship priority, due to size restrictions on First Class International shipping. However, DHL Worldwide will accommodate such sizes as well.
