This original hand painting, framed with luxurious, high-quality silk brocade, showcases the 1000-armed Avalokiteshvara, also known as Chenrezig. It's a stunning example of Tibetan Thangka art, a centuries-old painting style. The masterpiece features incredible attention to detail and is a captivating sight to behold. The high-quality silk brocade adds an elegant touch but also enhances the overall beauty of the painting.
Avalokiteshvara, the Bodhisattva of Compassion. Avalokiteshvara is one of the most revered Buddhist deities, with various forms and representations. While traditionally depicted as masculine, in China and Japan, some beliefs portray Avalokiteshvara as feminine, which is not supported by canonical texts but has been embraced in these regions.
Avalokiteshvara exemplifies compassion by refusing to accept Nirvana, as doing so would be seen as selfish due to the ignorance of those who have not yet reached that stage. This refusal symbolizes infinite compassion and willingness to help those in distress. Avalokiteshvara is often depicted holding an indestructible jewel and is considered a savior and protector from danger.
OM MANI PADME HUM" is connected with Avalokiteshvara and can be inscribed on items such as rocks, loose stones, and prayer wheels.
The thousand-armed form of Avalokiteshvara, known as Sahasrabhuja, has been widely revered. His cult has spread from India to Southeast Asia, Java, Nepal, Tibet, China, Korea, and Japan, with each region interpreting and imagining Avalokiteshvara in different forms based on their spirituality and beliefs.
GESTURES AND ATTRIBUTES
It is said that Chenrezig (Sahasrabhuja 1000 Armed Avalokiteshvara) once grew exhausted and discouraged from the overwhelming task of rescuing sentient beings. While struggling to comprehend the needs of so many, his head and body exploded into a thousand pieces. Buddha Amitabha came to Chenrezig's aid and helped prepare the Bodhisattva for his monumental task. Amitabha endowed Chenrezig with eleven heads, with which to hear the cries of the suffering, and also with a thousand arms, with which to aid the suffering multitudes.
Chenrezig's (Sahasrabhuja 1000 Armed Avalokiteshvara) eleven faces, arranged in three tiers, are topped by the wrathful face of Vajrapani and, at the very top, the face of Buddha Amitabha. The skin of a deer draped over Chenrezig's left shoulder and heart symbolizes his compassionate nature. His first two principal hands are pressed together at his heart in deference to his teacher, Amitabha, and his other principal hands hold a crystal rosary, a lotus blossom, an undrawn bow and arrow, an eight-spoked Dharma wheel, and a golden water pot. Each of Chenrezig's one thousand hands has an eye in the center of its palm, symbolizing the union of the five method perfections (five fingers) with the sixth perfection of wisdom (eye).
