His profound visions and terma discoveries revitalized Tibetan Buddhism, establishing lineages that continue flourishing today through his reincarnation lineage, including the renowned Dudjom Rinpoche.

The piercing gaze with painted blue eyes radiates wisdom and fierce compassion, while his flowing white beard represents advanced realization. The distinctive topknot crowned with a wisdom flame signifies his enlightened awareness.
