Vajrasattva Thangka Painting
About Our Thangka :
We have had this Thangka in our collection for over 20 years now. Our thangka was stored away for several years. We were thrilled to discover the quality and depth of these beautiful thangkas when we unveiled them and decided to showcase them online for everyone.
Introduction to Vajrasattva
Vajrasattva is a significant figure in the tantric Buddhism of the Kathmandu Valley, especially in the Newari community. This beautiful Buddhist painting is done by Nepali artists in acrylic colors in Kathmandu Nepal. Vajrasattva is seated with his legs crossed on a Lotus. In his right hand, Vajrasattva clutches the vajra (Tibetan: Dorje), and in his left hand, a bell (Tibetan: Drilbu). He is in perfect union with his Consort Representing the Unification of Wisdom and Compassion. This is a beautiful Painting for everyone.

How does Thangka help us?
Historically used as a teaching aid, thangkas are used as a meditation tool to help bring one further down the path to enlightenment. Devotional images act as the centerpiece during a ritual or ceremony and are often used as mediums through which one can offer prayers or make requests.
