Traditional Longchenpa Thangka | Dzogchen Sage of Boundless Awareness & Ultimate Wisdom | Featuring Samantabhadra, Jigme Lingpa, and Vimalamitra
Experience the profound presence of Longchenpa through this masterfully hand-painted thangka, made with natural Lhasa stone colors and illuminated with genuine 24K gold on premium cotton canvas. Created in the refined Karma Gadri style, this artwork embodies clarity, elegance, and spaciousness—qualities that are emblematic of Longchenpa’s teachings. Executed by our traditionally trained artists from Kathmandu Boudha Stupa in Nepal, who are descendants of the lineage of Venerable Master Jamyang Phunshok of Kham, Eastern Tibet, this thangka embodies both artistic excellence and authentic spiritual transmission. Every gold-lined pattern, lotus petal, and delicate fabric fold is rendered with meticulous care, paying homage to the wisdom of the esteemed Dzogchen master.
Longchen Rabjam, commonly recognized as Longchenpa, is among the most revered teachers in the Nyingma tradition of Tibetan Buddhism. As a scholar, meditation master, and systematizer of the Dzogchen teachings, he authored significant works such as the Seven Treasuries and the Trilogy of Rest, which are regarded as timeless guides to the understanding of the nature of mind. Longchenpa was dedicated to study, retreat, and realization, making him a key figure in the transmission of Dzogchen. His writings underscore effortless presence, expansive awareness, and the inherent purity of all phenomena, providing practitioners with a direct pathway to comprehend the true nature of reality.
In this thangka, Longchenpa is depicted seated serenely upon a lotus throne, draped in golden robes that shimmer with 24K gold detailing. His expression is calm, open, and expansive—reflecting the effortless wisdom he imparted. Above him appears Samantabhadra, the primordial Buddha, radiating pure blue luminosity as the source of Dzogchen transmission. Two prominent lineage holders are seated below Longchenpa: Jigme Lingpa, positioned on the right, exhibiting a gentle and compassionate demeanor, and Vimalamitra, on the left, adorned in golden robes. Vimalamitra symbolizes the ancient bridge between India and Tibet. The scene is set within a tranquil mountain landscape populated with deer, blossoms, rolling clouds, and flourishing trees, all rendered in the delicate atmospheric style characteristic of the Karma Gadri tradition. This natural scenery reflects the vastness and purity of the Dzogchen perspective—expansive, effortless, and luminous.
Together, Samantabhadra, Vimalamitra, Jigme Lingpa, and Longchenpa embody the unbroken Dzogchen lineage, united as a continuous stream of timeless wisdom flowing from primordial purity to contemporary practitioners. Their depiction within a single thangka renders this artwork a significant instrument for meditation, scholarly study, and devotional practices.
