1. Lokeshvara Thangka
Avalokiteshvara, or Lokeshvara in Sanskrit, is a revered bodhisattva in Mahayana Buddhism that represents the compassionate essence of enlightened beings. The name translates as "The Lord Who Looks Down with Compassion" or "The One Who Hears the Cries of the World." Avalokiteshvara is represented with several arms and heads, representing unlimited compassion and the power to help countless beings at once. His primary hand gesture is teaching or holding a wish-fulfilling gem. Avalokiteshvara's essence stresses the loving ideal that underpins Buddhist practice: listening to the cries of sentient beings and acting with unbounded compassion to guide them to liberation from suffering. Avalokiteshvara is revered across numerous Buddhist traditions and is integral to practice. The mantra "Om Mani Padme Hum" is used to cultivate compassion and seek assistance in times of difficulty.
2. Chengrezig Thangka
Chengrezig, also known as Chenrezig or Avalokiteshvara, is the Tibetan Buddhist deity representing compassion. Chengrezig has several arms and heads, symbolizing unlimited compassion and the ability to serve countless beings simultaneously. Chengrezig's mantra, "Om Mani Padme Hum," is regularly said to generate compassion and merit. Devotion to Chengrezig is essential to various Buddhist activities, with compassion as a guiding principle on the way to enlightenment. Chengrezig, revered across Buddhist traditions, serves a key role in fostering generosity and kindness in practitioners, helping them to liberate themselves from suffering.
3. Shakyamuni Buddha:
Shakyamuni Buddha, also known as Siddhartha Gautama, is the major character of Buddhism and is regarded as its founder. Born into a wealthy family in ancient India, he gave up his privileged existence to pursue enlightenment to understand the source of pain. After becoming enlightened under the Bodhi tree, he spent the rest of his life teaching the Four Noble Truths and the Noble Eightfold Path, which are the fundamentals of Buddhism. His teachings emphasize compassion, mindfulness, and ethical behavior as the means to escape from suffering. Millions of people throughout the world are still inspired by the Buddha's life and teachings, which guide them on a path of spiritual enlightenment and self-discovery.
