Description
Thangka painting is a handpainted craft originating from Tibetan Buddhism, featuring stunning and elaborate artistry. This Chengresi Thangka is a painting that displays Four-Armed Avalokiteshvara, Chengresi, the bodhisattva of compassion, and is often used for meditation and worship.
Chengresi is depicted seated on a lotus throne. The four arms of the Chengresi represent his kindness and capacity to help. He is shown with a mala (prayer beads), lotus (of purity), jewel (miraculous power) and a flask (of healing). The painting evokes his compassion and intent to relieve suffering. The symbols each convey a unique message-the lotus for purity, the mala for mantra chant, and the jewel for aspirations.
