Boddhisattvas Thangka
About Our Thangka :
This is a Newari-style thangka painting consist three icons (Green Tara, White Tara, and Chenrezig). The artist has placed these three figures in a beautiful surrounding landscape above a muddy bank of a brook where multiple lotuses are blooming.
This blooming flower represents being unaffected by the samsara despite living in it. Likewise, the sky in the background has a wide mixture of red, blue, and brown colors which has added a profound divinity to the painting.
Introduction To Buddhist Bodhisattvas Chenrezig, White And Green Tara :
In this thangka painting, Green Tara or Dolma, a female Buddhist deity linked to enlightened activity and abundance is seated in a playful posture. She is revered as the great liberator who all rescues beings from the eight great fears aroused by elephants, lions, snakes, robbers, fire, water, demons, and the government.
Born from the tears of Avalokiteshvara, she embodies compassionate and action-oriented Bodhisattva or Buddha. Revering Green Tara helps elevate physical, mental, and spiritual wellbeing.
In the central part of the painting, we see White Tara, placed between Green Tara and Avalokitesvara creating an illusion of space. This painting also illustrates the birth of White Tara and Green Tara.
How can Thangka benefit us?
Thangkas, which were formerly utilized as teaching aids, are now used as a meditation technique to assist in moving one closer to enlightenment. During rituals and ceremonies, devotional images serve as the focal point and frequently serve as a conduit for prayers and requests.
