Vajrasattva Shakti in YabYum position Old Oil Varnished Tibetan Thangka Painting Compassion Meditation Art with Silk Brocade

This exquisite piece is an authentic hand-painted Old Oil-Varnished Vajrasattva Shakti Tibetan Painting, delicately bordered with traditional silk. The artistry encapsulates the profound symbolism of Vajrasattva, a revered figure in Tibetan Buddhism symbolizing the harmonious union of wisdom and compassion.

In the rich tapestry of Tibetan Buddhism, Vajrasatva holds a significant place as it is associated with the sambhogakāya and purification practices. Notably, in the Shingon Buddhist lineage, Vajrasatva is esteemed as the second patriarch, with Vairocana Buddha being the first. According to the enlightening accounts found in Kukai's writings and Amoghavajra's narrative, Nagarjuna's encounter with Vajrasatva in an iron tower in southern India unfolds a pivotal moment. Vajrasatva, portrayed as the initiator, imparts the abhiseka ritual to Nagarjuna and entrusts him with the esoteric teachings received from Vairocana Buddha, as beautifully depicted in the Mahavairocana Sutra.

In this masterful portrayal, Vajrasatva's left-hand cradles a bell, strategically resting on his hip—an artistic expression of his boundless compassion. The painting captures the essence of his benevolence and the transformative power inherent in his teachings. Additionally, the inclusion of the hundred-syllable mantra associated with Vajrasatva emphasizes its universal use across all schools of Tibetan Buddhism for the purification of the mind.

This painting not only serves as a visual masterpiece but also as a profound representation of the spiritual journey, inviting viewers to contemplate the synthesis of wisdom and compassion embodied by Vajrasatva. Each stroke on the canvas echoes the sacred narratives and traditions, making this artwork a testament to the depth and beauty of Tibetan Buddhist spirituality.
