Vairochana Buddha
Introduction To The Print :
The wisdom of Vairochana is the essence of dharma meditation.
In the Dharmachakra mudra, the thumbs and index fingers of both hands touch and form a circle.The circle represents the Wheel of Dharma.
The three extended fingers of the right hand represent the three vehicles of the Buddha's teachings, in particular the middle finger represents the 'hearers' of the teachings, the ring finger represents the 'solitary realize-rs'. The Little finger represents the Mahayana or 'Great Vehicle'.
Significantly, in this mudra, the hands are held in front of the heart, symbolizing that these teachings come straight from the Buddha's heart.
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.
