Dorje
Drolo
The Manifestation of Crazy Wisdom,
thangka painting. Conceived as an ecstatic manifestation of
Padmasambhava, the deity Dorje Drolo embodies the forces of
insight and compassion beyond logic and convention. Invoking
in the practitioner the fearlessness and spontaneity of the
awakened state, Dorje Drolo transforms hesitancy and
clinging into enlightened activity. He rides a pregnant
tigress, which signifies the latent power of our intrinsic
Buddha Nature. Drolo’s energy overcomes distinctions of
life and death, representing instead a continual process
of giving birth to new circumstances and possibilities.
Padmasambhava manifested as Dorje Drolo at numerous
pilgrimage places in order to subvert indigenous Tibetan
beliefs in demons and malevolent gods, redirecting their
powerful energies toward the path of wisdom and
compassion
