Thangka Painting - Guru Rinpoche with his consort

A thangka is a Tibetan painting that is traditionally used as a support for one’s meditation practice. The imagery depicted in Tibetan paintings provides a guide for the elaborate visualizations that one does in Tibetan Buddhist practice. In Tibetan homes and monasteries, thangkas are considered sacred objects and are often placed above shrines.

In the thangka, Guru Rinpoche and his consort are depicted fixedly seated on a lotus seat. The artwork of Padmasambhava, who is sitting on his lap and holding a vajra in his right hand, a skullcap in his left, and a khatvanga with skull heads on his left arm, has been handpainted by our artist. His partner is seated on his lap, holding a skullcup in her left hand and embracing him with her right hand. His outer robe covers both his own body and the body of his consort, and it features numerous patterns. The background is made up of imposingly dark hills, colorful trees, a raging river with waves and ritual offerings, and so on. The vibrating green Crown gives him a splendor that separations with the superb blue striped brilliance that sparkles around him. Both have gold and bejeweled accents that are exquisitely planned.

Mantra: Om Ah Hum Vajra Guru Padma Siddhi Hum
