Traditional Amida Buddha Thangka | The Buddha of Boundless Light
Traditional Amida Buddha Thangka | Sacred Art of Amitabha Holding a Monk's Bowl
Our Traditional Amida Buddha Thangka is a meticulously created painting of sacred Himalayan art, deeply rooted in the reverence for traditional Buddhist iconography. To create a gentle, earthy finish, the thangka is carefully hand-painted on cotton canvas using natural stone colors and enriched with delicate highlights of genuine 24K gold. These materials are thoughtfully applied to enhance both depth and luminosity, allowing the deity’s presence to radiate with a timeless glow. This thangka, originating from the Karma Gadri style, is characterized by its serene composition, flowing forms, and minimal background clutter, enhancing clarity and elegance, making it ideal for meditation and contemplation.
Amida Buddha, also known as Amitabha, is a significant figure in Pure Land Buddhism, believed to welcome devotees into the Western Pure Land, Sukhavati. His ruby-red body symbolizes compassion and spiritual illumination, while his hands rest in the Dhyana Mudra, holding a begging bowl filled with immortality nectar. His feet bear Dharma Wheel marks, symbolizing his role in turning the wheel of Dharma. Amida Buddha is seated in a vajra posture on a moon disc, symbolizing purity and enlightenment.
