Hand-painted Pancha Buddha Green Tara, Shayamatara, Tibetan Thangka, 20 x 30-Inch
Hand-painted Pancha Buddha Green Tara, Shayamatara, Tibetan Thangka, 20 x 30-Inch
Green Tara is one of the most beloved goddesses in the Buddhist tradition. She is the female embodiment of the enlightened compassion and miraculous deeds of all the Buddhas, offering protection and assistance to all who face challenges in their lives. She vowed that until all suffering was eliminated, she would work continuously in a woman’s body for the benefit of sentient beings. Thus, Green Tara represents the very essence of virtuous and enlightened activity.
Green, being the color of nature and flourishing life, signifies her energetic and vivacious personality. She is always depicted as a beautiful and vigorous young woman with a touch of playfulness. In this sense, she teaches us not to take ourselves too seriously. She delights in a receptive mind and an open heart, for in such a person her blessings and wisdom can naturally unfold.
GESTURES AND ATTRIBUTES
Green Tara is depicted in a posture of graceful contemplative ease with her right leg extended as shown in this Green Tara Statue Copper. The extension of her leg symbolizes her continuous activity, constant alertness, and her readiness to spring into action to assist those who call upon her. 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.
This Thangka Painting is Surrounded By Pancha Buddha or Five Dhyani Buddha on the top and Manjushri and Vajrapani on the bottom
More about five Buddha
Five Dhyani Buddhas, popularly known as Pancha Buddha 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 Buddha 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 Manjushri And Vajrapani
Manjushree / Jampelyang embodies the omniscient wisdom of enlightenment – the wisdom that discerns the true nature of reality. He can discriminate between correct and incorrect views and between beneficial and non-beneficial actions to be taken on one’s spiritual path. He bestows intelligence, knowledge, wisdom, mastery of the teachings, eloquence, and memory. His name means “gentle glory” and he is especially revered in Nepal, where he is said to have enabled the founding of civilization in the Kathmandu Valley. Manjushree is also the patron Bodhisattva of the Kadampa (i.e. Gelugpa) order of Tibetan Buddhism, which is famous for its master scholars, called geshes.
Vajrapani
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.
