MAGNIFICENT TIBETAN GREEN TARA GODDESS GOLD LEAF THANGKA PAINTING

Green Tara is the Tibetan Goddess of compassion and strength. She is a bit more fierce than her sister White Tara and can be called upon in times of struggle or conflict for protection.� In Tibetan Buddhism, Tara is a female� Bodhisattva� in� Mahayana� Buddhism who appears as a female� Buddha� in� Vajrayana� Buddhism. She is known as the "mother of liberation", and represents the virtues of success in work and achievements.� Tara is a tantric� meditation deity� whose practice is used by practitioners of the Tibetan branch of� Vajrayana� Buddhism to develop certain inner qualities and understand outer, inner and secret teachings about� compassion� and� emptiness.� It is said that the Green Tara was originally a Deified daughter of the King of Tibet and became a Goddess of Tibetan Bonpo Shamans. Then, Tara emerged as a Buddhist Goddess later when Padmasambava ( the bringer of Buddhism to Tibet) came around the 8th century.

Thankas are painted with all natural vegetable dyes extracted from Himalayan plants. The colors are stabilized with a tree sap to give them great longevity. Painting a Thangka requires great concentration, which is a meditation practice in itself. The artist also contemplate the images in the painting and their metaphysical meanings. The Thangka is a portable shrine that has been used since ancient times by Mahayana Buddhist Monks for various ceremonies and also as teaching aids. They are traditionally encased in silk brocade frames which allow them to roll up for the monks to travel with them.

I always have a Thangka hanging in my home. You will be amazed at the impact of such a sacred object. The Tibetans say that these archetypes are common to all humanity and they stimulate your unconscious memory. This opens up a more meditative awareness inside of you. All Thangkas are enshrined in a silk brocade frame.� Each silk frame also has a golden silk cover that comes down over the front. This is traditionally only raised up when the Thangka Painting is activated for teaching, rituals, or meditation.The outside measurements of the silk are 26 X 46 inches. The inside painting measure 18 X 26 inches.
