Vajrapani Bodhisattva, known as "Chana Dorgi" in Tibetan, is an embodiment of Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva in the Exoteric teachings. This statue of Vajrapani Bodhisattva wears five crowns on the head, with fierce and towering hair resembling burning flames. The facial expression is square and fearsome, with three round eyes, bared teeth, a broad and flat nose, hanging earrings, and large ear pendants.The body is robust, with short and thick limbs, exhibiting a powerful and martial appearance. The upper body is adorned with a collar, long chain, and a large coiled serpent. Bracelets are worn on the wrists, arms, and ankles. The separate part behind the body emits a glowing light resembling flames, exuding a powerful presence. The right hand holds a high-raised vajra club, while the left hand holds a precious flower.

The whole body stands in a stance with a bent front leg and an extended rear leg, standing firmly against external forces. The lotus petal-shaped pedestal is full and dynamic, giving a majestic and awe-inspiring appearance, capturing one's attention. The copper material is lustrous, with delicate craftsmanship, and the concealed storage at the back is especially rare.

This statue is an outstanding example of the Tashi Lhunpo Monastery in statue making, having been passed down from Tashi Lhunpo Monastery in its early years, and later preserved by private Tibetan collectors in its original state. Tashi Lhunpo Monastery's exquisite craftsmanship is truly unparalleled, making this statue the pinnacle of Tashi Lhunpo Monastery artistry.
