108 Chenrezig; Avalokiteśvara in Gold; སྤྱན་རས་གཟིགས།; 觀音 (Guanyin)
The 108 Chenrezig Tibetan Thangka shows Avalokiteshvara, known as Chenrezig in Tibet. His four arms represent compassion, love, kindness, equanimity, and appreciative joy.
In his upper left hand, Chenrezig holds a lotus stem. This reminds followers to aim for Nirvana, much like how the lotus grows from muddy waters to blossom in the sun. His upper right-hand holds 108 crystal mala beads, which symbolise his ongoing recitation of the mantra "Om Mani Padme Hum." This mantra means "Hail to the jewel of the lotus" and helps free beings from suffering. The thangka is named for the 108 mantra recitations linked to these beads. It has 108 images of Chenrezig, all wearing the jewels of a bodhisattva and sitting in the full lotus position.
Hand-painted in Nepal.
The natural Pigment Painting measures 21 Inches by 17.5 Inches, with an additional silk Thangka bordering it.
