Tibetan Thangka - White Tara
Thangka (to:nko:) are painting or scrolls that can be rolled up and were easily transported for ceremonial rituals or teaching at monasteries.
The thangka is a teaching tool as they are filled with symbolism and allusion but must be made in accordance to guidelines expressed in the Buddhist scriptures. It takes religious training and understanding for an artist to properly create an accurate thangka.
The colorful wall hanging is ripe with beauty and stimulation. These are meant to be a true manifestation of the divine.
Add a thangka to a room or altar to uplift and awaken the spiritual energy in the space and people that reside in it.
This Thankga represents White Tara.
Tara is a female Buddha usually linked to Buddhist tantra that is
maintained in Tibetan Buddhism. Most commonly White Tara is linked with long life.
White Tara also provides compassion to others who are suffering on their path. She signifies a watchful and meditative spirit that brings happiness, healing, wisdom and long life. One can use this healing intention for the self or others.
It is said that White Tara’s motivation for compassion is so strong it is radiant and white like the moon.
