Gampopa Sönam Rinchen statue adorned with filigree

Gampopa Sonam Rinchen, also known as Dagpo Rinpoche, is regarded as one of the most outstanding students of Milarepa, one of the most significant masters of Tibetan Buddhism. He was the founder of the monastic order of the Kagyü school, and the various traditions that emerged from his teachings are referred to as Dhakpo Kagyü. His main activities focused on the Dhaklha-Gampo Monastery, where he contributed and transmitted his extensive knowledge in the areas of teaching, meditation, and the welfare of beings. He dedicated his entire existence to teaching this approach to help others find inner peace.

Gampopa wears the Kagyu monk's hat introduced by Milarepa and sits cross-legged in lotus position, Padma Asana, on a rounded throne. His hands are folded and rest in his lap while holding the jewel of Dharma, depicted as a six-columned crystal mountain with a flame aura.

His hat, robe, and base are adorned with fine filigree ornaments and set with deep red and dark green stones. The figure can be presented free-standing.
