Avalokiteshvara Chenrezig Thangka
Introduction To The Thangka :
Our thangka paintings are Buddhist canvas paintings made with the use of gold and other natural colors, depicting Buddhist deities, scenes, or mandalas. We beautifully have hand-painted this thangka of Tibetan Chenrezig.
This form of Avalokiteshvara is widely used for devotional practice for the followers of Mahayana and Vajrayana Buddhism. His six-syllabled mantra “ Om mani pad me hum” is the household mantra for all Buddhists worldwide.
He has four hands. The first two pressed together at his heart makes Anjalimudra (Adamant form). He holds a wish-fulfilling jewel, indicating that he has a mind of great compassion. He is adorned with silk and jewels, and he wears an upper antelope skin garment, signifying his compassionate and gentle nature. In his left hand, he holds a blue lotus flower and a crystal rosary with his right hand.
How does Thangka benefit us?
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 removing 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.
