Divine Twenty-One Taras Thangka, Buddhist Painting of Green Tara’s 21 Emanations for Meditation
The Divine Twenty-One Taras Thangka is a renowned and intricate piece of art that embodies the deep spiritual nature of Tara, the beloved Bodhisattva known for her healing abilities and compassion. The most widely admired form of Tara, Green Tara, is shown in the Thangka at the center in a serene, meditative pose. She symbolizes enlightenment, spiritual development, and purity, surrounded by glowing lotus flower petals. Her right hand is extended in the Varada Mudra, a gesture of offering and blessing that signifies her limitless compassion and readiness to assist those in need. In her left hand, she holds a blossoming lotus, a common symbol of enlightenment and spiritual purity. Authentic 24K gold further enhances the artwork, imparting a radiant, spiritual quality. Made from cotton canvas, it ensures durability while adding a sophisticated texture that deepens its spiritual significance.
The Thangka also features other significant figures: Vajrasattva, symbolizing purification and embodying clarity and purity of mind; Chenrezig (Avalokiteshvara), the manifestation of compassion, exuding love and mercy for all beings; and Shakyamuni Buddha, the historical Buddha, embodying the wisdom needed to attain enlightenment. Together, these figures powerfully represent the Three Jewels - Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha – serving as reminders to practitioners of the essential virtues of wisdom, compassion, and purification that are vital for spiritual growth.
This thangka showcases the remaining 20 forms of Tara, each holding symbolic objects such as lotus flowers, vases, and swords, or performing specific mudras. The vibrant colors symbolize Tara's qualities of compassion, healing, and the ability to overcome obstacles. Each Tara provides protection and guidance for spiritual seekers in various aspects of life, including addressing physical or emotional challenges, purification, or the quest for wisdom. The background is richly detailed with intricate patterns, while the border features dragons, powerful symbols of strength, protection, and spiritual energy. The dragons, intertwined with cloud motifs, lotus petals, and golden rays of light, evoke a sense of divine power and harmony. This thangka invites compassion, wisdom, and protection into any sacred space, making it an ideal addition to meditation areas, altars, or spiritual collections.
