Description

Beautiful and one-of-a-kind hand-painted thangka. The thangka does not have a brocade border and has small signs of wear, such as slight tears and fading. Please refer to pictures. This thangka would look great set in a frame or stitched into a brocade border.


In the Tibetan Buddhist pantheon of enlightened beings, Chenrezig is renowned as the embodiment of the compassion of all the Buddhas, the Bodhisattva of Compassion. 


According to legend, Chenrezig made a a vow that he would not rest until he had liberated all the beings in all the realms of suffering. After working diligently at this task for a very long time, he looked out and realized the immense number of miserable beings yet to be saved. Seeing this, he became despondent and his head split into thousands of pieces. Amitabha Buddha put the pieces back together as a body with very many arms and many heads, so that Chenrezig could work with myriad beings all at the same time. Sometimes Chenrezig is visualized with eleven heads, and a thousand arms fanned out around him.

Tara, whom Tibetans also call Dolma, is commonly thought to be a Bodhisattva or Buddha of compassion and action, a protector who comes to our aid to relieve us of physical, emotional and spiritual suffering. She vowed to appear only in a female form until all beings became liberated (enlightened).


Tara has 21 major forms, each of which has a different color and spiritual attribute. The Green Tara, is associated with enlightened activity and abundance.
