Zambala Brocade Thangka

Thangka brocade is the use of brocade fabric as the background and border in traditional Tibetan Buddhist artworks, such as thangkas. Brocade is a luxurious, decorative fabric with raised patterns and metallic threads, often made of silk. It enhances the aesthetic beauty and sacredness of thangkas by forming a panel surrounding the central painting, often adorned with religious patterns and symbols. The brocade fabric is carefully chosen to complement the painting's theme and colors, adding richness and elegance to the overall composition.

Zambala, Dzambala is a wealth deity whose blessings remove the obstacle of poverty, bringing wealth and abundance to pure Dharma practitioners. As it is difficult to attain spiritual realizations while afflicted by lack of resources, Jambhala generates prosperity so that practitioners have the time, energy, and means to accomplish. According to the Sutras, while Shakyamuni Buddha was teaching one day, demons tried to disturb and confuse the Buddha. Jambhala appeared in front of the Buddha and protected him. Recognizing Jambhala's courageous action, the Buddha asked Jambhala if he would like to become a Dharma Protector in order to help all sentient beings. Jambhala accepted the Buddha's offer, and since then he has offered immediate assistance to all who call his name or chant his mantra. His blessings bestow good luck, increase virtues, prolong life, increase intelligence, and provide both material and spiritual benefits.
