Handmade Avalokiteshvara Thangka
About Our Thangka :
We have had this Thangka in our collection for over 20 years now. Our thangka was stored away for several years. We were thrilled to discover the quality and depth of these beautiful thangkas when we unveiled them and decided to showcase them online for everyone.
Introduction To Avalokiteshvara Thangka
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.
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 at Shambala, a symbol of a never-ending cycle. And his upper left hand holds a white lotus.

How does Thangka help us?
Historically used as a teaching aid, thangkas are used as a meditation tool to help bring one further down the path to enlightenment. Devotional images act as the centerpiece during a ritual or ceremony and are often used as mediums through which one can offer prayers or make requests.
