Original Hand painted Mandala Thangka of Buddha and Bodhisattvas In Tibetan Buddhist practice, mandalas represent the pure and sacred space consecrated by the power of a Buddha or other deity. Through concentrated meditation on the mandala, a monk learns information about the deity that is conveyed in the art. Beyond this, he strives to “enter” the mandala, not only invoking the qualities of the deity, but internalizing them himself. A mandala is a representation of the cosmic, the universe, in a circular pattern which leads to a central point. As such, it is a symbol or wholeness, of beginning and end. There are many types and varieties of Mandalas depending on the nature of the central deity. The most classic pattern of Mandalas is of the Dhyani Buddha. This Thangka depicts Buddha Mandala.

It concerns a highly spiritual Lama who once invited two famous artists one from Chamdo, the other from Central Tibet, to paint his shrine room from him. The Lama showed them his shrine room where they discovered the walls were covered with gold paint. The Lama explained that some time previously, he had actually experienced a vision of radiant gold figures.He recounted his vision to the artists and asked if they could recreate these figures upon his wall He stated the forms were to be created without the use of sketch work or the application of a single brush stroke upon the gold. The two conceived the idea to utilize the technique of burnishing the gold, executing the outlining and shading with this method. The work was so finely accomplished that t is said the figures were animated in appearance. The artists then being renowned as divine artists The Tibetan term for the work is 'Serku jazer ma', translating into Serku (Gold image) jazer ma (rainbow with radiant), gold images with the radiance of rainbows.It is reported that in the year after Buddha Shakyamuni attained Enlightenment,he was asked by King Chandrabhadra of Shambhala to teach the Kalachakra Tantra.The Buddha manifested himself in the form of the Kalachakra meditational deity and gave the full teachings and initiation of this tantra.The kalachakra teaching was then transmitted through a lineage of seven kings and 25 propagators.About Kalachakra MandalaKalachakra mandala is the “Palace of Purity” with more than seven hundred deities residing inside, represented by various signs and symbols.The entrances of the palace nearest to the centre are said to be cittacakra(mind-wheels),and the middle entrances are said to be vakcakra(voice-wheels).

Introduction to Buddhist Mandala We have had this Thangka in our collection for over 30 years now. This thangka was stored away for several years.

Amoghasiddhi Mandala Introduction To The Thangka : Amoghasiddhis is one of the five important Dhyani Buddhas. His name describes his characteristics perfectly. Amogha(Amoha) means the exclusion of confusion or spiritual ignorance; siddhi means Mastery of a subject. So Amoghashiddhi is a Master to help remove confusion and spiritual ignorance."Mogha" can also be translated as a failure, unfruitful, or unsuccessful. Thus Amoghasiddhi is also the master of success, the one whose success cannot be obstructed. This is perhaps the most common description for Amoghasiddhi, "the Buddha of unobstructed success." Amoghasiddhi teaches us that Spiritual understanding is the deepest and fullest grasp of the universal truth that every experience and every object arises out of certain conditions. Likewise, every object and every experience becomes part of the conditions out of which other objects and experiences, in turn, arise. A dynamic, endlessly unfolding. That is Amoghasiddhi's field, his home. So the wisdom of dwelling in this place is the wisdom of perfecting actions. Actions are performed for the good of all beings, and the actions accomplish that perfectly. This world of perfected action is one of the perfected conditions: harmonious, serene, and pure.How to take care of your thangka? -Hang your thangka in a traditional silk brocade-Regular Inspection of your thangka; examine the borders and all attachments.-Keep thangkas covered when they are on display but not in use.-Rotate thangkas between display and storage regularly, two to four times a year, to reduce the amount of exposure to light.
