Description
Vajravarahi Thangka, A Traditional Tibetan Buddhist Painting
Our artist has painted a Vajravarahi thangka in the Marthang style. Vajravarahi's vision and symbology, which reifies the transforming yogic meditations related to the purification of the subtle body, are beautifully painted in this Thangka. On top of the sun disk, there is a human corpse. Radiant light rays form the bija VAM in the disk's core and become Vajravarahi. Vajravarahi appears in a dazzling red-figure emerging from within a beautiful circle of burning flames, dancing in Ardhaparyanka asana with her left leg atop the body.

Note: Vajravarahi Thangka is an original painting from Enlightenment Studio located at Boudha Stupa.
Vajravarahi embodies the ultimate experiences and realizations of supreme bliss and emptiness—the essence of the completion-stage practices—as the purifying inner heat of the navel chakra. She carries a blood-filled skullcup with swirling waves of ambrosia in her left hand and a vajra-tipped flaying knife in her right. A prominent khatvanga symbolizes her non-dual union with Chakrasamvara. The ceremonial staff also indicates that she is accompanied by the entire entourage of the Sixty-two-Deity Chakrasamvara/ Vajravarahi Mandala. She is naked, dressed with the five bone decorations (Pancha mudra) and the delicately drawn lacelike bone apron, which collectively signify the five perfections, with a brown sow's head appearing behind her right ear. She is pictured gently smiling, her hair loosened, laughing with bared teeth, infused with both passion and rage. She is wearing a lengthy garland of fifty freshly severed heads, tied together with intestines, instead of her usual necklace of dried skulls.
