Thangka Art Of Four Armed Avalokiteshvara Chenrezig
Introduction To The Thangka :
In the thangka, Four-armed Chenrezig is gracefully seated in meditation posture. His two hands are in devotional gesture. The upper right-hand holds his special symbol, a crystal atshamala, a symbol of never-ending cycle. And his upper left-hand holds a white lotus.
Chenrezig is white in color and four-armed, holding a rosary in one hand and a full-blown lotus in the other. The palms of the other two main hands are united in Namaskar Mudra, and they are clutching a circular object known as "jewel", which is regarded as a symbol of knowledge.
Chenrezig is the Bodhisattva of compassion who hears the world cry. Chenrezig made a vow that he would not rest until he had liberated all the beings in all the realms of suffering. Chenrezig signifies that he frees the sentient beings from the muddy waters of suffering.
