Original Hand-Painted Vajrasattva / Dorje Sempa Old Oil-Varnished Tibetan Meditation Thangka Painting/Wall Hanging with Silk Brocade

This listing is an old oil-varnished Vajrasattva Tibetan Thangka painting. Vajrasattva is a significant figure in Mahayana Buddhism and Vajrayana Buddhism, also known as the Diamond Being or Thunderbolt Being. He is featured in the Mahavairocana Sutra and the Vajrasekhara Sutra. In the Mahavairocana Sutra, Vajrasattva led people eager to learn from Vairocana Buddha, initiating a philosophical discourse in which the Buddha used a mandala to aid comprehension. Vajrasattva also inquired about the need for rituals and objects to understand truths beyond form, to which Vairocana Buddha explained their role as expedient means for awakening.

In Newar Buddhism, Vajrasattva is highly revered and represents the ideal guru, frequently invoked in rituals. In Shingon Buddhism, Vajrasattva is seen as the second patriarch. According to Kukai's writings, Vajrasattva initiated Nagarjuna into a ritual, passing on esoteric knowledge from Vairocana Buddha. In Tibetan Buddhism, the Vajrasattva root tantra is Dorje Gyan or Vajra Ornament. Vajrasattva practices are vital for purifying obscurations, progressing in Vajrayana practices, and purifying any broken vows after initiation. The Vajrasattva practice is believed to purify karma, bring peace, and inspire enlightened activity.

Oil-varnished Thangka paintings embody artistic mastery and spiritual devotion. The application of oil varnish enhances the colors' vibrancy and preserves the painting for generations. These mesmerizing artworks offer a glimpse into Tibetan spirituality and culture, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in their richness.
