Original Hand painted Large White Tara / Mother Goddess Masterpiece 24 K Gold Tibetan Thanka / Thangka / Painting Compassion Meditation Art

This is an original hand-painted masterpiece Pancha ( 5) Buddha White Tara Tibetan Thangka Painting. White Tara is the mother goddess in Buddhism. Her compassion for living beings and her desire to save them from suffering is said to be even stronger than a mother’s love for her children. As the personification of enlightened maternal compassion, she has infinite sympathy for those facing the challenges of worldly existence. She is the female aspect of the universe and the source of all life; thus, she lovingly engenders, nourishes, and smiles at the vitality of creation. Meditation on the goddess grants health, long life, fearlessness, patience, and peace; and she is especially cherished for her swiftness in responding to the prayers of those who call upon her. Her color white symbolizes her radiant purity, but white also expresses her fundamental nature, which is the ultimate Truth, complete and undifferentiated.

GESTURES AND ATTRIBUTES
White Tara is depicted in a posture of graceful contemplative ease with both legs raised and crossed, displaying regal elegance and serenity. Her right hand is extended downward, palm open, with thumb and index finger touching. This hand position is known as Varada Mudra or the gesture of granting wishes and protection. Her left hand, raised to shoulder height with fingers extended and palm turned outward, is in the gesture of granting refuge and freeing from fears (Abhaya Mudra). Each of her hands also holds the stem of a beautiful lotus flower that floats above her shoulder as a symbol of her radiant purity and power. A distinctive characteristic of White Tara, shown in this representation, is her seven eyes. She has the two usual eyes plus one in the center of her forehead and one in each of her hands and feet. These eyes indicate that she sees all the suffering and cries for help in the universe, and symbolize her divine omniscience.

This Thangka Painting is Surrounded By Pancha Buddha or Five Dhyani Buddha on the top and White Mahakala, Jambhala, and Vajrapani on the bottom

More about five Buddha

Five Dhyani Buddhas, popularly known as Pancha Buddhas are five representatives of five different qualities of Shakyamuni Buddha. Pancha Buddhas are also known as the Five Wisdom Tathagatas and are widely respected in Vajrayana Buddhism. In Sanskrit, they are known as the Five Conquerors, or Victor, and are common subjects in the Vajrayana Buddhist tradition. As you may have noticed in many Thangkas or collections of five Buddha statues in Buddhist people's residences, these collections of Buddha statues are quite popular for their great five different qualities. These Pancha Buddhas are Vairochana, Akshobhaya, Amitabha, Ratnasambhava, and Amoghasiddhi.
These Five Buddhas represent five paradises in five different directions i.e. Central, East, West, North, and South. In both Nepali Buddhism as well as Tibetan Buddhism, these Pancha Buddhas are represented in different Buddha statues, Buddha images, paintings as well as Thangkas, etc. The collection of Nepali Buddha statues must consist of a set of five Pancha Buddhas or it is considered incomplete. This states how important the Pancha Buddhas are especially in Nepalese and Tibetan Buddhism.

More About White Mahakala, Jambhala and Vajrapani

The Mahakala is known as the wish-granting diety and is very popular among the Gelugpa school of Tibetan Buddhism. This wealth aspect of the Mahakala supports explicitly the comfort and economic well-being of tantric practitioners. The White Mahakala is generally worshiped to attain wealth.

Jambhala/Dzambhala / Kubera is a god of wealth whose blessings remove the obstacle of poverty, bringing wealth and abundance to pure Dharma practitioners. As it is difficult to attain spiritual realizations while afflicted by a lack of resources, Dzambhala generates prosperity so that practitioners have the time, energy, and means to accomplish it. According to the Sutras, while Shakyamuni Buddha was teaching one day, demons tried to disturb and confuse the Buddha. Dzambhala appeared in front of the Buddha and protected him. Recognizing Dzambhala’s courageous action, the Buddha asked Dzambhala if he would like to become a Dharma Protector in order to help all sentient beings. Dzambhala accepted the Buddha’s offer, and since then he has offered immediate assistance to all who call his name or chant his mantra. His blessings bestow good luck, increase virtues, prolong life, increase intelligence, and provide both material and spiritual benefits.

Vajrapani is an important Bodhisattva who embodies the spiritual power of all the Buddhas. His name means “wielder of the thunderbolt” and he protects those who walk the Mahayana path, removing all inner, outer, and secret obstacles from their practice. Enlightened eons ago, Vajrapani is said to have incarnated as one of Buddha Shakyamuni’s primary disciples. He is often depicted along with fellow disciples Manjushri (the embodiment of the Buddhas’ wisdom) and Avalokiteshvara (the embodiment of the Buddha's compassion). Together these three Bodhisattvas comprise the three factors of Buddha-nature and the three necessary ingredients for enlightenment. Vajrapani symbolizes fierce determination and unbending intent in the unrelenting battle against negativity.
