1,000 armed Avalokiteshvara Mandala

About Our Thangka :

We have had this Thangka in our collection for over 20 years now. Our Thangka was stored away for several years. We were thrilled to discover the quality and depth of these beautiful thangkas when we unveiled them and decided to showcase them online for everyone.

Introduction to 1,000 armed Avalokiteshvara Mandala

Lokeshvara wears all the ornaments: earrings, bracelets, and so forth. He also wears an antelope skin on his shoulders and carries various weapons in his hands. Lokeshvara is a cosmic form of Avalokiteswara and is represented by eleven heads and one thousand arms. He is adorned with all the six jewels and isdressed in a monastic robe.

Lokeshvara is also the spiritual father of White Tara and Green Tara, who were said to be formed from his two drops of tears when he saw the pain and suffering in the sentient beings. They are all boddhisattvas (liberators of the sentient beings from pain and suffering ) with very prominent spots among the Tibetan Deities.

A bodhisattva decides not to enter nirvana at death so that he can aid the sufferings of the world. He is the essence of compassion. Avalokitesvara has many forms - but here, he has 1,000 arms to help many people at once. Each hand has an eye that looks down compassionately on the world.

To invoke his help, say the mantra “om mani Padme hum.” You see this mantra painted everywhere you go in Tibet, where he is called Chenrezig.

He has ten faces representing the fact that he has mastered all ten bodhisattva stages, and each face represents an attitude dominant at a particular stage. Three of the faces are loving, three are peaceful, and four are fierce. Love wears many faces: sometimes fierce, like a mother protecting her child, sometimes scolding, when she reprimands, and other times love sweet and soft and given with a kiss.

How does Thangka help us?

Historically used as a teaching aid, thangkas are used as a meditation tool to help bring one further down the path to enlightenment. Devotional images act as the centerpiece during a ritual or ceremony and are often used as mediums through which one can offer prayers or make requests.

    I received the thangka very quickly in beautiful condition. It was very carefully wrapped in multiple protective layers, many thanks to Enlightenment Thangka for their care. The thangka itself is beautifully done, printed on canvas with meticulous attention to detail. Very much looking forward to getting it framed and on the wall!

    I had a wonderful experience buying a Thangka from Enlightenment Thangka. The quality of their products is top-notch, delivery was quick, the staff were very friendly, and the packaging was excellent. I highly recommend them and am already looking forward to placing my next order.

    Such a beautiful thangka. It carries many blessings. The image itself is masterfully painted with great devotion. The brochade fabric quality is incredibly high and it is sewn with great skill and care. The thangka on the left was also purchased from “Enlightenment Thangka” a couple of years ago and it is also of this same high quality as the Guru Rinpoche in the right. I cannot recommend these people enough. Beautiful devoted work.

    Is a long waiting lesson I’ve been looking forward. For someone totally new, this is really an amazing experience to explore your hidden talent in Thangka drawing. I’m grateful the Enlightenment Thangka team’s great coordination to make this happened, the Thangka master, Nyam la that patiently guided me through my journey. He was very patience to explain every single line during the lesson, he puts things in a very simple way, never rush on me. Yet, he spent time to looking into my drawing upon my submission. He also sending back his feedback in details to further guiding me to perfect the drawing line.

    The master and team encouragements truly keeping my momentum to perfecting my drawing. This amazing journey had let me experiencing my inner peace, the hidden talent I’ve never knew, part of my spiritual journey. I will definitely will keep continuing my journey with them in future to fulfill my dream.

    Sharing my in progress Thangka artwork. ཐུགས་རྗེ་ཆེ། 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

    Very nice and warm shopping experience. The statue is firmly packed and protected during transport. Looking forward to my next order!

    Although Tangton Gyalpo is a major Lama, it is not easy to find tankhas depicting him. This one is just perfect.

    Excellent service and beautiful products!

    Excellent service and beautiful products!

    Magnifique Thangka ! Un excellent support pour ma pratique, cette thangka est très inspirante. Les dimensions impressionnante 2,40m x 1,60 donnent beaucoup force à l'ensemble !
    Service client au top et livraison super rapide ! Merci !

    It arrived today and exceeded all expectations. It's perfect!

    Quality brocade. Intricate design and mounted well. This silk weave has the heavier, sturdier, “rougher” feel to it than its smoother, shinier sibling.

    Personally, this experience has been a memorable one as I've got to learn from an actual thangka master and teacher himself. The entire three day experience has been nothing short of mesmerizing and sacred. If your intuition is calling you to pursue this, please do not pass off this special opportunity to learn from the one of the sources of authentic thangka painting for this experience is a heartwarming one.

    Amazingly beautiful brocade!

    very beautiful and made of quality material.

    Beautiful thangka...you did a good job, you have to see it to believe it.
    The delicate lines, the refreshing colors are just incredible. A thangka that represents us corresponds to the name of the refuge that a very GREAT master gave us
