Framed Hand Painted Padmasambhava Thangka on Canvas 24K Gold

1992

About the Item

This professionally framed "Padmasambhava" thangka is hand painted on canvas with 24K real gold. Gold and silver brush stroke figure on black background with golden frame is truly breathtaking. Intricacy of work (as seen on some images)clearly shows how fine is this piece of work! Measurement of art without the frame: 24" x 16" *Glare is seen on pics due to frame. A handout on process of making a thangka will be included with the purchase. Padmasambhava (born from a lotus) is also known as Guru Rinpoche(Precious). According to some early Tibetan sources Padmasambhava came to Tibet in the 8th century and helped construct Samye Monastery, the first Buddhist Monastery in Tibet. However little is known about the actual historical figure other than his ties to Vajrayana and Buddhism. Padmasambhava later came to be viewed as a central figure in the transmission of Buddhism to Tibet. Starting from 12th century hagiographies concerning Padmasambhava were written. These works expanded the profile and activities of Padmasambhava. He is considered to be a Buddha that was foretold By Buddha Shakyamuni. According to traditional hagiographies his students include the great female masters Yeshe Tsogyal and Mandarava. The contemporary Nyingma school considers Padmasambhava to be a founding figure. In Tibetan Buddhism, the teachings of Padmasambhava are said to include an oral lineage (kama) and a lineage of the hidden treasure texts (termas). Tibetan Buddhism holds that Padmasambhava’s termas are discovered by fortunate beings and tertons (treasure finders) when conditions are ripe for their reception. Padmasambhava is said to appear to tertons in visionary encounters and his form is visualized during guru yoga practice particularly in Nyingma school.
