Description: This original hand-painted Tibetan Thangka painting beautifully portrays Chenrezig or Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva. Chenrezig, the most revered of all Buddhist Bodhisattvas, is not just a figure of worship but a symbol of universal compassion. He embodies the compassion of all Buddhas and is known to listen to the prayers of all sentient beings, offering solace in times of difficulty and challenges, regardless of their beliefs or backgrounds. In a well-known Buddhist tale, it is said that Chenrezig took a vow of selflessness, promising to continue working tirelessly until all sentient beings were liberated from samsara, the cycle of birth, death, and rebirth. Despite the enormity of his task, he remains undeterred; his arms are shattered into pieces to better reach out to the many cries of suffering. This selfless act, depicted with eleven heads and a thousand arms fanned around him, symbolizes his unwavering commitment to aiding all beings, inspiring deep admiration and respect in all who hear his story. Chenrezig is a figure of great spiritual significance in Tibetan Buddhism. The phrase "Om Mani Padme Hum" consists of six syllables and is closely linked to Chenrezig. It is thought to summon his compassionate influence and aid when spoken aloud or silently recited.. Chenrezig is considered the protector of Tibet, and it is thought that the Dalai Lama embodies his essence as a living Buddha, emphasizing his essential spiritual role. Chenrezig's presence in Tibetan Buddhism inspires deep reverence and awe among its followers. This Thangka painting, a unique portrayal of Chenrezig, is a rich tapestry of symbolism. It depicts him in a holy gesture with his two front hands clasped in front of his jewel-draped heart. His upper right-hand holds his special symbol, a crystal akshamala or rosary, a symbol of the never-ending cycle. His left-hand holds a white lotus, symbolizing that he frees sentient beings from the muddy waters of suffering and hellish realms to the pure states of enlightenment. The silk garments he is draped in, the lotus petals he is seated on, and the "diamond pose" of meditation, with both legs crossed, all carry their symbolic meanings, adding depth to the artwork. The term "Bodhisattva" has two primary meanings in Buddhism. One, held by the Theravada and some Mahayanists, refers to someone dedicated to becoming a Buddha. This path is characterized by personal enlightenment. The other meaning, held by some Mahayanists, refers to someone who deliberately refrains from becoming enlightened, a Buddha, to help others. This path is characterized by the selfless act of aiding others in their spiritual journey. When we show compassion or receive love from others, whether they are human or animal, we get a glimpse of our connection with Chenrezig.Size: 15 inches x 20 inches ( 38 cm x 51 cm) Surface Material: Handmade Cotton Canvas Color: Gold/water Please take note of the following:- Color Variance: Please be aware that the actual color of the paintings may exhibit slight variations due to the light conditions during photo shooting and the resolution of computer screens.- In-Person Brilliance: The visual impact of the paintings is more captivating when experienced in person, surpassing the representation captured in photographs.- Size Clarification: Please note that the mentioned size of the painting does not account for the outer border, which contributes to a nuanced and visually dynamic presentation.- Secure Packaging: To ensure the safe delivery of these artistic treasures, each painting will be meticulously packed inside a PVC Tube, guaranteeing safety during transportation. - Buyer's Responsibility: Please be aware that any import duties, taxes, and additional charges at the destination country are the sole responsibility of the buyer, adding a layer of transparency to the purchasing process.
