Samantabhadra Mantra Brocadeless Thangka Painting
Samantabhadra Mantra Brocadeless Thangka Painting

A Tibetan thangka of Bodhisattva Samantabhadra, one of the Shakyamuni triad of Mahayana Buddhism (together with Gautama Buddha and Manjushri). In this fine example of thangka art, He is depicted in a dynamic stance upon the back of a fair elephant, a mythical creature of the Buddhist heavens.

A dhoti of powdery blue silk and sashes of pale gold float about the figure of Samantabhadra. His face is framed by fine black locks, the composure of which conveys serenity and profound introspection. The same is set off by a gold crown, each of whose five spires is studded with a brightly colored jewel.

This Samantabhadra mantra thangka painting would be a signature addition to the home of any Buddhist devotee. A monotone backrest in deep, velvety blue, dotted with the ashtamangala. A background wherein the gradient transitions from an unusual silvery green to a dark, tempestuous blue.

Vijaya Stupa For Long Life of The Patron- Thangka Painting
Vijaya Stupa For Long Life of The Patron- Thangka Painting

Ushnishavijaya is one of the three gods of longevity and fulfillment of desire. The other three are Amitayus and White Tara. She is often depicted with eight arms and three heads. Her main face is white while another face is peaceful in gold; the face to her left is blue in a wrathful look. In this thangka, she sits on a moon disk on top of a multi-colored lotus within a stupa or a mound. Stupas are originally the funerary mound for the Shakyamuni but have since been associated with the patterns to the enlightenment of the Buddha. In this thangka, notice that the vidyadhara (garland holders) near the clouds are holding pots containing durva grass (associated with long life). On the sides of her stupa are Avalokiteshvara (on her right) and Vajrapani (to her left). At the lower part of the stupa are the guardians of the four cardinal directions (like the Hindu Lokapalas).

On one right hand is a figure of Amitabha on a white lotus. Another hand is in a mudra that represents utmost generosity. Near her breast, she holds a vajra (one which destroys ignorance and is indestructible). She also has an arrow (for piercing focuses our attention) as well as a lasso (for restraining ignorance by vigilance). Another hand shows the protection mudra, while the object on the lower hand is a jar that contains the nectar of longevity and immortality. She is also dressed in opulence like a Bodhisattva. The Vijaya Stupa Thangka Painting also showcases several buddhas including the Shakyamuni, the Five Transcendent Gods, as well as the Medicine Buddha. Near the bottom are various lamas and teachers of Buddhism. At the offering, shrine is the patron of the Thangka.

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.

Tibetan Thangka Painting - The Splendour Of The Kalachakra Mandala

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.

​Padmapani Avalokiteshvara is the most widely loved Bodhisattva. In Sanskrit, ‘avalokita’ roughly means ‘to look on’, which makes this deity the guardian supervisor of the human realm. Some interpret His name to mean ‘ishvara (lord) of all that is drishyam (seen/perceived)’. The figure you see on this thangka is the female form of Avalokiteshvara. Her name is Guanyin, which in Chinese means ‘one who hears’. Note how her head is tilted slightly downwards at an angle, as if she is listening to the longing of Her devotees as She looks upon.
Like most Buddhist devis, She has the tall, slender form of the Himalayan ascetic. Her silken skirts drop to Her feet, barely revealing a long leg; while Her torso is strategically concealed by tigerskin and a hand raised in blessing. Coiled amidst Her eight arms is a sea of sashes floating about Her like the gorgeous black hair across Her shoulders. The quintessentially Buddhist five-spired crown and gold kundalas frame her lovely, youthful face. It bears an expression of maternal comfort and bliss.
Indeed she is the Devi of compassion and mercy. In one of her anterior hands she holds the mythical healing potion of Tibetan medical folklore. Generously she dispenses of it upon this loka. Surrounded by flowers (from Her pedestal to Her aureole) and offerings (in the foreground), the pristine stupa in the background completes the composition.
