 
Ngak’chang Rinpoche 
describes Dorje Tröllö as follows:
Dorje Tröllö’s terrifying complexion is dark maroon: the colour of dried blood; 
the colour of fire seen through smoke clouds; the colour of a dying star before its implosion 
sucks entire solar-systems of self-obsession into itself. 
Khandro Déchen 
continues:
These qualities reflect the overwhelming intensity of Dorje Tröllö’s 
uncompromising active compassion and the ferocious wisdom fire of his complete 
integration with the non-dual state. They reflect his limitless non-dual rage at 
all obstacles to compassionate activity. He bites his lower lip in the clear 
anger that is beyond subject and object, and his razor fangs shear through the 
illusion that form and emptiness can be divided.
