Handpainted Guru Rinpoche Surrounded By Dhyani Buddha Traditional Thangka
About our Thangka
Guru Padma Sambhava, popularly known as Guru Rinpoche, the precious teacher, was a powerful Tantric Buddhist Master. He subdued many harmful spirits and forces that hindered the spread of the teachings of Buddha Shakyamuni. His miraculous powers taught many disciples who also became perfect masters of Tantric Buddhism. He is said to have twenty-five great disciples who were instrumental in preserving the sacred teachings of Lord Buddha to the present day.
Guru Rinpoche’s body is golden in color and is attired in a gown, a monastic robe, and a brocade cap. He has one face and two arms and is seated in the posture of a king. He holds a vajra scepter in his right hand, and in his left hand, a skull cup containing a vase of immortality. In the curve of his left arm is his divine consort of bliss and emptiness in the form of the khatvang Trident.
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.
