Green Tara Thangka Digital Prints
Introduction To Arya Green Tara:
Green Tara or Dolma is often known as the great liberator who rescues beings from the eight great fears aroused by Elephants, lions, snakes, robbers, fire, water, demons, and the government. She is one of the Bodhisattvas that Avalokiteshwora created from a drop of his tear.
In this painting, Green Tara is seated in a playful posture. Her right hand is in the Varadamudra because she is quick to respond to the petitions of those who seek her aid. She is adorned with five jewels symbolizing the Dhyani Five Buddhas. In both her hands she is holding Utpala flowers, symbolizing her purity. Her color is green because her Bodhisattva activity is swift like the wind element
This elaborate painting of Dolma took over 6 months for the artist to complete. Contemporary Eri Style Artist Mr.Chhewang Lama completed this painting in late October 2018. (Note Eri Style developed from the Ü and Tsang Provinces of Tibet since the early 19th century.)
How does Thangka benefit us?
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.
