Guru Drakpo, is a very fierce manifestation form of Guru Rinpoche Padmasambhava, from the Terma (Revealed Treasure). Very fierce, red in color, with one face and three eyes, he has a gaping mouth and yellow hair flowing upward.
The right hand holds upraised a black vajra sceptre, the left a nine-headed black scorpion. Adorned with a crown, earrings, bracelets and necklaces of gold and numerous writhing snakes, he wears a garland of heads and an elephant skin draped across the shoulders and with a tiger skin covers the lower body.
Guru Rinpoche is said to have taken eight forms or manifestations representing different aspects of his being, such as wrath or pacification for example. The eight principal forms were assumed by Guru Rinpoche at different points in his life. The great manifestations of Padmasambhava belong to the tradition of the Revealed Treasures.
The great manifestations of Padmasambhava do not depict different Padmasambhavas, but reflect his ability to appear according to different needs and with different circumstances arrived.

Please consult your Guru or a qualified lineage master for Vajrayana practice! Should a devotee even want to start studying and contemplating the Vajrayana practice, then it is truly necessary to first have completed the preliminaries and to be certain and sure that Bodhicitta has arisen and developed in one’s mind.
Vajrayana features countless skilful and powerful methods which, if they are practised in the proper way, can make the process of accumulation and purification incredibly swift and direct.
One such method is the practice of tsok, which is primarily a practice of offering. It is not just a practice of offering however; it is also a powerful method for purifying our Samaya. It is absolutely necessary to have the pure motivation and to know that Vajrayana practice is not carried out to increase one’s own ego, power and profit.

Aspiration For Bodhichitta
For those in whom the precious Bodhichitta has not arisen
May it arise and not decrease
But increase further and further.
Nagarjuna's Dedication of Merit
By this merit may we obtain omniscience then.
Having defeated the enemies wrong-doings.
May we liberate migrators from the ocean of existence.
With its stormy waves of birth, old age, sickness and death.
