Avalokiteshvara Thangka Painting

An Avalokiteshvara Thangka Painting such as the one you see on this page would be a valuable addition to the home of any Buddha devotee. It is a skillfully, perfectly symmetrically executed Lokeshvara thangka painting in His traditional iconography. He is the glorious Lokeshvara sahastrabhuja (thousand-armed), the unmistakable aspect of His iconography.

Speaking of signature aspects, this is an image of the eleven-headed Lokeshvara with Buddha. All the five contemplative Buddhas, together with Green Tara, are seated on either side of the throne of the Lokeshvara Buddha. Along the lower edge of the painting is a panel depicting a Buddhist teacher with His students congregated before Him, and a series of Buddhist deities ranging from the serene to the wrathful. Along the upper edge is a series of miniature seated Buddha figures, below which are more seated figures of Buddhist teachers and students.

The red- and green-colored faces of Lokeshvara contrast sharply with the fair complexion of His numerous arms.

The Kalachakra Tantra (‘kala’ is Sanskrit for time; ‘chakra’, for cycle) expounded by Lord Buddha is a profound conception of the world as we know it. It comprises the outer, inner, and alternative Kalachakra’s. While the outer Kalachakra is the extrinsic locus of birth and death, the inner Kalachakra is the microcosm of sentience. The alternative Kalachakra pertains to the journey of Enlightenment/Buddhahood subject to the passage of kala.

The thangka that you see on this page is of the Kalachakra mandala. The majestic palace that you see on this page is a symbolic entity, a visualization aid. It has four gates, each oriented to the four quarters of the world, and is protected by blue, scarlet, and gold discoid, each standing for a spiritual ideal that one must attain in order to access the riches offered by the Kalachakra palace. Zoom in on the splendor of the sprawling gates of the palace - note the perfect symmetry and attention to detail with which the same have been painted.

The importance of mandalas in Vajrayana Buddhism is in the fact that they are visualization aids. Each of the five stories of the Kalachakra mandala palace leads the practitioner through the realms of body, expression, intellect, consciousness, and bliss to the resident Kalachakra deity. Practice empowers one to visualize and penetrate each and every corner of this all-important structure.

There is a distinction and an order to being a bodhisattva. As a testimony to the preeminence of Lord Avalokiteshvara, He belongs to the heaven of the Amitabha Buddha and, together with Lord Mahasthamaprapta, graces a throne as resplendent as the Buddha’s. The majestic Bodhisattva is the beloved of His devotees because He has vowed to deliver each of them to the land of nirvana and pure happiness, without exception; this is the quintessence of the bodhisattva.

Sadakshari Lokeshvara in the Lap of the Moon 

The thangka you see on this page is the Sadakshari Lokeshvara roopa (form/manifestation) of the Bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara. Having emerged from a pristine light from within the Buddha Amitabha, the Sadakshari Lokeshvara is four-armed, the anterior pair of which is in anjali mudra (gesture of adoration). He sits in the lap of the ivory-silver moon, His long fair limbs gathered in the perfect padmasana. A leafy vine of blue lotuses floats about Him, one of which He holds in His left posterior hand.

The face of the Bodhisattva is a highly characteristic image in the thangka tradition. As fair as the clouds of the Buddhist heaven, drawn in perfect symmetry. Half-shut eyes that are brimming with compassion, the all-pervading Buddhist value. Lengthened earlobes from which dangle gold kundalas, and a five-spired crown sitting on the long black straight hair. Note the soothing element of the pastel-coloured halo of the Bodhisattva.

Buy The BuddhaAmoghasiddhi, Surrounded By The Dhyani Buddhas
Lord Amoghasiddhi is the abhaya (fearlessness) component of the Buddha, and one of the five dhyani (deep contemplative) Buddhas that He is resolved into. In fact, His right hand is raised in the abhaya mudra, its soft, red palm turned reassuringly towards the thirsting onlooker. He is accomplished (siddha) in His infallibility (amogha), and is known as the Buddha of karmayoga. When taken as a visualisation aid, for which this thangkapainting would be apt, Amoghasiddhi dispels envy and incompetence.

This modern Amoghasiddhi composition leaves out the dual dorje. Instead, His other hand rests gently at the juncture of His padmasana, palm skywards, which is the traditional dhyani (meditative) gesture. The dark olive complexion of the Lord is overlain with streams of gold shringar fit for a Buddha. The large lobes of His ears are graced by bejewelled kundalas. The multi-spired crown on His head befits His heavenly majesty.

He is seated on a bed of gorgeously coloured lotus petals. Surrounding the dominant central figure of Amoghasiddhi are the rest of the Dhyani Buddhas - Akshobhya, Amitabha, Ratnasambhava, and Vairochana, each differentiated by the colour of His skin and the mudra of His hands. He is flanked by none other than the tall, beauteous Devis named Tara. They are the queens of the Buddhist paraloka, and the the wives of Amoghasiddhi.

Four pillars uphold the idea of Bodhisattvahood in Buddhism. Together with Avalokiteshvara, Kshitigarbha, and Samantabhadra, Bodhisattva Manjushri rules over all bodhisattvas. He is a deity of gentle bearing, characterised by composure of supreme calm. Zoom in on the sweet face of the Bodhisattva in this thangka. Despite the weapons in His hands and the decisive stance of the arms that wield them, He looks on at the world with a gaze that is warm and profoundly comforting.

His skin is an arresting scarlet color. Each of His three heads bears a five-spired crown and kundalas dangling from earlobes lengthened by lifetimes of sadhana and accumulated wisdom. His characteristic sword cuts through clouds of avidya (ignorance) and in one of his six hands he holds a manuscript of the Prajnaparamita. The pastel-coloured silks that clothe the Bodhisattva, the tender pink lotus of the pedestal, and the ice-blue fire-spewing creature he is seated on, make for a signature thangka-style color palette.

At the ends of His aureole sit his two wives, the fairest, most well-endowed beings of the Buddhist paraloka. Across the aureole it is painted a world of mythical creatures, culminating in a cherub of the tantric world. The peach-colored lotuses peeking out from the edge of the aureole and the deep blue sky beyond, serve to tone down the aura of these creatures.
