Buddhist Avalokiteshvara Chengrezig
Introduction To The Thangka :
The most respected Bodhisattva, Avalokitesvara, also known as "One Who Looks With Unwavering Eye," stands for the compassion of all Buddhas. In times of conflict and adversity, he hears the screams of all sentient beings. He makes a devout gesture, clasping his two front palms in front of his jewel-encrusted heart. He has a crystal akshamala, or rosary, on his upper right hand that represents the endless cycle. His left hand is holding a white lotus, suggesting that he frees aware beings from terrible regions and muddy streams of suffering and leads them to greater levels of enlightenment. He is seated on a row of lotus petals while wearing silk clothing and is in the "diamond pose" for meditation.
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.
