35 Buddhas Prints
Introduction To Print :
Thirty-five Buddhas of Confession (Tib. Tung-sha) are practiced based upon a Mahayana text known as the 'Sutra of Three Heaps' (Skt. Triskandha-sutra), which is performed by the Buddhist sangha in order to purify any transgressions against their religious vows. This three-part practice involves praises to the Buddhas, confession, and dedication of merit. There are several different traditions of depicting the Thirty-five Buddhas, with their varying colors, gestures, and their few individual hand attributes.
This "35 Buddhas of Confession" thangka follows the tradition of Arya Nagarjuna one of the greatest maha shiddhas that ever lived. All the iconography details, emblems, colors, and attributes were painted as mentioned in the text. For any practitioner who is looking for 35 Buddhas thangka, this thangka painting will be perfect for your practice.
This exquisite painting of 35 Buddhas of Confession was completed by contemporary Eri style Painter Chhewang Lama in early October 2019. (Note Eri Style developed from the Ü and Tsang Provinces of Tibet in the early 19th century.)
How does Thangka benefit us?
It goes without saying that every detail of a painting has a symbolic meaning. Regardless of your religious affiliation, a thangka can help you on your path to enlightenment, whether you practice Buddhism or have other religious convictions. Thangkas are paintings that depict deities with various iconographic elements and symbolism that encourage meditation on the teachings of the god they depict. Any thangka is intended to aid in the removal of the film of ignorance, which is a significant barrier to the road to enlightenment. The Thangka is revered as a holy item. They promote positivity, spread Buddhism's teachings, bring about peace, harmony, and oneness, and dispel any negative energy that may be there.
