Fo Guang Shan Buddha Museum

Fo Guang Shan Buddha Museum

Dorje Legpa wears a helmet on his head, a collared top and a long skirt secured with a waist tie. He sits sideway on the lion's back, showing a heroic gesture with sleeves between the elbows seemingly blown upwards. He holds a vajra pestle in the right hand and the heart organ in the left. The lion mount looked back, its limbs were slightly bent as if it is ready to emerge. This artwork depicts exorcising evil and guarding the Buddha.
