CHENREZIG – THE BODHISATTVA OF COMPASSION KARMA KADRI STYLE PAINTING

This is an original hand-painted Lama blessed Karma Gadri Style Tibetan Thangka Painting.

Karma Gadri Art is a Unique Tradition of Tibetan Thangka Painting. This style is known for its intricate details, vibrant colors, and precise linework. It often features deities and complex mandalas. This Tradition of Tibetan thangka painting originated from the artistic experimentations of the 8th Karmapa, Mikyo Dorje (1507–1554). He was one of the most renowned Karmapas, a great meditation master.

Avalokiteshvara or Chenrezig, is the embodiment of the enlightened compassion of all the Buddhas. He is the earthly incarnation of the celestial Buddha Amitabha, and he guards our world during the interval between the historical Buddha, Shakyamuni, and the future Buddha, Maitreya. Chenrezig is universally cherished in all branches of Buddhism and is considered the patron Bodhisattva of Tibet. Even in non-Buddhist countries, most people are familiar with his mantra Om Mani Padme Hum. Chenrezig courageously vowed that so long as even one being remains caught in samsara, he will continue to work for the benefit of living creatures. His wisdom, compassion, and endurance know no bounds, and he is especially revered for granting realizations and spiritual attainments to those who meditate upon him.

GESTURES AND ATTRIBUTES

Chenrezig is depicted here in his four-armed form, which symbolizes his whirlwind of constant activity in the world. Two of his hands are pressed together at his heart, holding the wish-fulfilling jewel of enlightenment, the Chintamani. This jewel manifests whatever a faithful seeker may pray for and is also a metaphor for the profound teachings and virtues of the Buddha. Chenrezig’s clasped hand position further expresses his gratitude and respect for Buddha Amitabha.

In his upper right hand, he holds a crystal mala, or Buddhist rosary, that he unceasingly counts and which represents his continuous compassionate activity in the world. And in his upper left hand, he holds a beautiful lotus flower in full bloom. Just as the lotus arises, dazzling and pure, from dark muddy waters, Chenrezig constantly manifests amidst the misery and suffering of our world but is never stained or tainted by samsaric conditions. His blossoming lotus is meant to inspire us to do the same, by unfolding the pure compassion of our true natures even amidst the challenges of worldly existence.
SYMBOLISM

On Chenrezig’s left side, at the level of his heart, is the gentle face of a wild deer; the deer’s skin is draped over his shoulder. The deerskin is an ancient symbol of renunciation, as wandering mendicants often took the skin of a deer as a meditation seat, and sometimes as a garment and blanket. This symbolic meaning applies, as Chenrezig, a Bodhisattva, has renounced the snares of worldly existence, but here it further symbolizes his boundless compassion for sentient beings. According to legend, Chenrezig once took rebirth as a wild deer, but he had such heartfelt compassion for the hunter who chased him that he willingly laid down his life.
