Description
A thangka is a Tibetan painting popularly employed to aid one's meditation practice. Tibetan paintings provide visual cues that inform elaborate visualizations which are used during Tibetan Buddhist practice. Thangkas are thought of as sacred objects, frequently displayed atop shrines in Tibetan houses and temples.
Chenrezig Thangka Paintings can be used as a powerful meditative tool to purify both physical and mental faculties. As a decorative item, the artwork may be hung in home or office, bringing together both beauty and profound symbolic meaning. In its four-armed form, the painting illustrates the figure's persistent striving towards enlightenment, as seen through its clasped hands at its heart, where it holds the wish-fulfilling jewel of cintamani. This symbolizes the teachings and qualities of Buddha Amitabha, for whom gratitude and respect is expressed. From the upper right,
Chenrezig firmly grasps a crystal mala - a Buddhist rosary - that he ceaselessly counts, which symbolizes his tireless compassionate action in the world. His upper left hand holds a radiant lotus flower in full bloom. Just as the lotus arises, brilliant and untainted, from murky waters, Chenrezig appears amidst our world's sorrow and pain, yet remains unsullied by worldly conditions. His blossoming lotus encourages us to follow in his footsteps, displaying the purity of our compassion amidst life's hardships.
