Add to Cart
This is a beautiful original Chenrezig deity Thangka painting from Nepal. I brought it back with me from my last trip there. It has fantastic color and great details and the dragon border is very special. Real gold paint was used as well. The canvas is crisp and clean.

Chenrezig is known as the Bodhisattva of Compassion.

According to legend Chenrezig made a vow that he would not rest until he had liberated all beings from suffering. After working on this for a long time and realizing the magnitude of his task he became so frustrated that his head split into thousands of pieces. Amitahba Buddha rescued him and put him back together with a thousand arms and eleven heads enabling him to become more efficient at saving those from suffering. Sometimes he is portrayed in this later form as well. By other names he is known as Kwan Yin in China, Avalokiteshvara in ancient Sanskrit and Kannon in Japan.



Some emanations of Chenrezig are believe to be

Songsten Gampo, Karmapas, and the Dalai Lamas.



The Mantra Ohm Mana Pad Mi Hum is also known as Chenrezig's Mantra. This painting is not only a beautiful work of art but will inspire further study of Chenrezig and Buddhist history as well as practice.



No real flaws noticed.



I'm sure whoever gets this painting will be very happy with it
