Item Description
Let the Wrathful Flower torma serve as a reminder to you of your ability to overcome conceptual limitations. Wangpo Metok represents the possibility of liberation from "accepting what is perceived as positive and rejecting what is perceived as negative."
Tormas of two varieties are traditionally used as offerings on shrines: outer and peaceful or inner and wrathful. Peaceful offerings are pleasing to the senses and thus enhance positive qualities. They create positive feelings, are an antidote to miserliness, and therefore accumulate merit. Wrathful offerings are related to the tantric tradition and emphasize the accumulation of wisdom.
This particular torma is hand painted and filled with precious blessed substances. Each one is made according to the definitive instructions given personally to Lama Tharchin Rinpoche by His Holiness Dudjom Rinpoche. Tormas may be used as practice supports or displayed as sacred art in the home.
Rinchen Barwa offers fine hand-crafted tormas created under the auspices of Lama Tharchin Rinpoche. Lama Tharchin is the current tenth lineage holder of the largest Tibetan yogi sect, the Repkong Ngak-mang. He trained and gained experience in the ultimate great mysteries of the three inner tantras as well as the relative forms of training such as song, mandala design, dance, and sacred art. In Tibet, he served as the main shrine attendant (chöpön) in the protector temple at His Holiness Dudjom Rinpoche's residence for a period of seven years, when he was solely responsible for creating and attending to all the tormas regularly offered. Lama Tharchin personally received definitive instructions in torma making from His Holiness Dudjom Rinpoche.
Dimensions: 7" x 2 1/2" x 2 1/2"
