Product Description
This magnificent Thangka depicts Guru Rinpoche (Padmasambhava), the 8th-century master who established Buddhism in Himalayas and is revered as the "Second Buddha". Known as the Lotus-Born, Guru Rinpoche is the ultimate symbol of the power to transform negativity into wisdom and to overcome the most stubborn spiritual obstacles. His presence in a space is believed to provide immense protection, dispel ignorance, and grant swift blessings to those on the path to awakening.
The sacred composition captures the Guru in his classic, powerful stance, seated upon a blossoming lotus throne. In his right hand, he holds a golden vajra (thunderbolt) to his heart, symbolizing the indestructible power of compassionate method. His left-hand rests in his lap, holding a skull-cup (Kapala) containing the vase of immortality, signifying his mastery over life and death. Cradled in the crook of his left arm is the Khatvanga staff, representing his hidden yogic power and the union of wisdom and bliss. He is surrounded by a dense, celestial landscape of swirling clouds and sacred peaks, emphasizing his role as a master of the natural and supernatural worlds.
Crafted in the prestigious Nagpa style, this artwork features a deep, obsidian background that makes the intricate gold work radiate with divine energy. The artist has meticulously rendered every detail, from the complex "chainmail" patterns of his royal robes to the shimmering rays of his halo and the fine textures of the surrounding clouds. This heavy application of gold creates a luminous, three-dimensional effect that changes beautifully with the light. This Thangka is not just a painting but a powerful energetic support for meditation, perfect for those seeking the transformative protection of the Great Master.
