Amitabha Buddha Thangka Art
Introduction To The Thangka :
Amitabha is also referred to in the Pure Land sects of Mahayana Buddhism as Amitayus, the great rescuer Buddha. Amitabha, one of the five "self-born" buddhas (Dhyani-buddhas) who have existed forever, is adored in Tibet and Nepal but was never as well-known as a savior figure as he was in East Asia. Because he bestows longevity, Amitabha is often referred to as Amitayus, or "Infinite Life."
The two names are frequently used interchangeably in China and Japan, but they are never confused in Tibet, where Amitayus is worshipped in a particular ritual to ensure long life. He is seen carrying the ambrosia vase from which the gems of perpetual life flow, and he has decorations on his head and a crown.

How does Thangka benefit us?
It goes without saying that every detail of a painting has a symbolic meaning. Regardless of your religious affiliation, a thangka can help you on your path to enlightenment, whether you practice Buddhism or have other religious convictions. Thangkas are paintings that depict deities with various iconographic elements and symbolism that encourage meditation on the teachings of the god they depict. Any thangka is intended to aid in the removal of the film of ignorance, which is a significant barrier to the road to enlightenment. The Thangka is revered as a holy item. They promote positivity, spread Buddhism's teachings, bring about peace, harmony, and oneness, and dispel any negative energy that may be there.
