Ryoukai Set Thangka Mandala
About Our Thangka Print :
Ryokai-mandala relays the truth and the state of Enlightenment advocated by Dainichi Nyorai (Mahavairocana), the principal Buddha in Esoteric Buddhism.
The term "mandala" refers to a structure in which numerous "Buddhas," including Dainichi Nyorai, are arranged in a predetermined order. Two such structures are the Garbha-mandala (also known as the Taizokai-mandala) and the Vajradhatu-mandala, collectively referred to as Ryokai-mandala or Ryoubu mandala. In addition to paintings that feature the individual picture of Buddha, some also employ a single Sanskrit character to represent one Buddha.
Garbha-mandala, also called Daihitaizosho mandala, indicates that 'world' is not included in the original language; instead has been referred to as 'Taizokai mandala' for a long time in tune with Vajradhatu mandala.
The Mandala is divided into 12 parts of 'in' sections. The central part includes 'The Central Eight Petal Court' and the Taizokai Dainichi Nyorai- a posture off 'Hokkai Join.' Dharma-realm meditation mudra folding both hands in front of the belly is seated in the center of a lotus flower with 8 petals. All 8 statues, namely four of Nyorai (Hodo (Ratnaketu Tathagata), Kaifukeo (Samkusumitaraja), Amida Nyorai (or Muryoju, Amitabha Tathagata), and Tenkuraion (Divyadundubhimeghanirghosa)) and 4 of Bosatsu (Fugen bosatsu (Samantabhadra Bodhisattva), Monju Bosatsu (Manjusri), Kannon Bosatsu (Kannon Buddhisattva) and Miroku Bosatsu (Buddha of the Future, Bodhisattva of the Present) are depicted around Dainichi Nyorai.
NOTE: Please note that the prices are doubled as the thangka comes in a set with two prints
How does Thangka benefit us?
It goes without saying that 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 the removal of 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.
