It was kismet to find this exquisite White Tara, a gift for my good friend on her 30th birthday, on Ritual Thanka's Etsy. They have so many practice-quality paintings created by true craftsmen, and the purchasing process is easy.
When I called Ritual's contact number to ask a question, their sales manager answered and took action to help even though it wasn't his normal job. (Thanks, Rajendra!)
They also sent me a brief personal video showing the packed thangka ready for shipping, and got it out the door quickly -- in the face of the covid pandemic, no less.
You can feel safe supporting Nepalese artists by purchasing from Ritual Thanka.

Gold Painted Medicine or Blue Buddha:
Introducing our Gold Painted Medicine Buddha Thangka, a stunning portrayal of healing and compassion. At the center of this exquisite thangka sits the Medicine Buddha, also known as the Bhaisajyaguru, in a seated posture of deep meditation. His left-hand rests in his lap holding a bowl of healing nectar, while his right hand is extended in the gesture of granting protection and dispelling fear. The Medicine Buddha embodies the supreme healing qualities of enlightenment, offering solace and relief from physical, mental, and spiritual ailments to all sentient beings.
Surrounding the Medicine Buddha are two additional figures: on the bottom left and right, stand the Medicine Buddha's two main disciples, Suryaprabha and Chandraprabha, representing the illuminating qualities of the sun and the moon. Two Buddhas and Bodhisattvas grace the upper part of the thangka.
What sets this thangka apart is the meticulous application of 24K gold paint, adding a luminous brilliance to the artwork. The use of gold enhances the sacredness and vibrancy of the thangka, illuminating the divine presence of the Medicine Buddha and his entourage.
The Gold Painted Medicine Buddha Thangka serves as a potent focal point for healing and meditation practices. Display it prominently in your healing space, meditation room, or altar to invoke the healing energies of the Medicine Buddha and his retinue. Meditating upon the image of the Medicine Buddha can bring about physical healing, mental clarity, and spiritual well-being, while also fostering a sense of inner peace and serenity.
