Significance

Thangkas are sacred. They are believed to embody the deity or scene they depict. They are a meditation focus. They help practitioners connect with the divine and access its blessings. They are also believed to have the power to ward off evil spirits and bring good luck.

Process and Rituals

Thangkas are usually painted on cotton, silk, or paper. They use mineral pigments and natural dyes. The painting process is meticulous and requires a high level of skill and artistry.

Many accomplished lamas have visions of different Buddhas and deities. They then depict these in Thangkas. The belief is that visions are not just hallucinations. They are real encounters with spiritual beings. This belief underpins the practice of creating Thangkas from visions.

By depicting these beings in Thangkas, lamas share their experiences. The Thangkas are a powerful tool for meditation, contemplation, and devotion.

Origin

Thangkas have been worn by Buddhists for centuries. In Tibetan Buddhism, they are highly revered. They serve many purposes, including meditation, teaching, and devotion. There are various types of Thangkas. They include Deity, Mandala, Guru, Narrative, and Medicine Thangkas.

Introduction

The full name of the Medicine Buddha is Bhaisajyaguru Vaiduryaprabharaja or Bhaisajyaguru Tathagata. The "Medicine" in Medicine Buddha refers to healing the mind and escaping the cycle of rebirth. In the distant past, the Medicine Buddha cultivated the Brahmavihāras. He made twelve great vows during the time of the Buddha Radiancy. He vowed to end all beings' suffering. He would give them perfect skills, beautiful bodies, great wealth, and no misfortune. He also vowed to lead them to liberation. He fulfilled his vows and attained Buddhahood. He now resides in the Pure Lapis Lazuli World, as magnificent as the Western Pure Land of Sukhavati.

The back of the Thangka features a crossed vajra. It is a symbolic representation of the vajra, a ritual weapon. It is associated with power and enlightenment. It serves various purposes in Thangkas.

If you invite the Thangka back home, it will protect you from illness. It will also promote your physical and mental well-being.
