Amitabha Buddha Thangka

Introduction To The Thangka :

Amitabha was a king who renounced his throne to become a monk. After accumulating great merit over countless lives, he took the name of Dharmakara Bodhisattva and finally achieved enlightenment and became a Buddha. Buddha Amitabha now reigns over “Sukhavati,” the western paradise called “the Pure Land.”

Amitabha has red skin and is dressed in monk's robes sitting in the lotus position. His hands are folded and facing up in meditation mudra (samadhi), holding a bowl containing the nectar of immortality.

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.
