Meditation Avalokiteshvara Chengrezig
Introduction To The Thangka :
Avalokitesvara, also known as "One Who Looks With Unwavering Eye," is the most revered Bodhisattva and represents the compassion of all Buddhas. He hears the cries of all sentient beings in times of war and misfortune. His two front hands are clasped together in front of his jewel-encrusted heart in a show of devotion. On his upper right hand, he wears a crystal akshamala, or rosary, which stands for the eternal cycle. His left hand is carrying a white lotus, indicating that he leads conscious people to higher states of enlightenment by delivering them from horrible places and muddy streams of sorrow. He is in the "diamond stance" for meditation, sitting on a row of lotus petals, dressed in silk.
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.
