About Our Thangka
The Bodhisattva of Compassion, Chengrezig, is shown in a royal and tranquil position in a full gold style hand-painted Chengrezig thangka, a traditional Tibetan Buddhist artwork. This thangka is distinguished by its detailed features and strong brushstrokes, which are created in a magnificent gold color scheme that gives the picture a sense of majesty. The powerful protector god Mahakala and the wise Bodhisattva Manjushree flank the Chengrezig figure, representing the complimentary powers of defense and knowledge in the Buddhist tradition. The artwork, which is often created on a canvas made of fabric, is revered as a holy item with special spiritual meaning. Tibetan Buddhists highly respect this artwork as a visual aid for meditation and a source of motivation for development.
Introduction To The Thangka :
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 all around the world.
Avalokiteshvara is a representation of the bodhisattva's resolve to delay achieving Buddhahood until he has assisted all sentient beings on Earth to attain freedom (moksha; literally, "relief") from suffering (dukkha) and the cycle of death and rebirth (samsara). It has been said that his name means "The Lord Who Watches in All Directions."

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.
