About The Thangka

Introduction

Karmapa means “the one who carries out Buddha-activity” or “the embodiment of all the activities of the Buddhas.” It is a title given to the head of the Karma Kagyu lineage. His Holiness Chodrag Gyatso (1454 – 1506), is the 7th Karmapa. He is a renowned and accomplished scholar who has authored a number of books and notable commentaries on philosophical treatises. His commentary on the Abhisamayālaṅkāra (the Lamp of the Three Worlds), and the multi-volume of Ocean of Reasoning, are one of his most important works. In the painting he is portrayed seated on a tiered pedestal with his hands held in front of his heart performing the Dharmachakra mudra (gesture of teaching). He is dressed in red and saffron robes and wears the black Vajra hat of the Karma Kagyu lineage. At the front, is an altar table with various offerings. He is surrounded by monks at the bottom, whereas at the top is Buddha Vajrasattva in Sambhogakaya form holding Viswa Vajra on his right hand and Bell on his left.  This painting is based on the work of 8th Kenting Tai Situpa Choki Jungne. 

Thangkas of teachers are widely popular in Buddhist practitioners as these thangkas are the visual representation of their teachings and spiritual accomplishments. They serve as sacred objects that facilitate spiritual connection, providing a visual focus for meditation.
