Hand-Painted Machig Labdron Thangka Painting:
Our hand-painted thangka, Machig Labdron, is a powerful representation of the revered Tibetan yogini, who is celebrated as the founder of the Chod practice. The thangka is adorned with vibrant colors and intricate details, symbolizing Machig Labdron's active engagement in spiritual practice and her readiness to cut through ego and attachment. She holds a damaru (hand drum) in her right hand, representing the sound of emptiness, and a bell in her left, symbolizing wisdom and the female principle. Her expression radiates fierce compassion, radiating the transformative power of Chod, a practice designed to sever the root of self-clinging by offering one's body as a feast to demons and obstructive forces.
Machig Labdron, a historical figure from the 11th century, is one of the few female Buddhist teachers to have originated a spiritual tradition practiced in her lifetime. Her teachings emphasize the cutting of dualistic thinking and attachment, particularly the deep-seated grasping at the self. Chod, meaning "cutting through," is a unique blend of meditation, visualization, and ritual music that integrates the principles of Prajnaparamita, the Perfection of Wisdom.
This Machig Labdron Thangka serves as a powerful visual tool for meditation and a profound connection to Machig Labdron's transformative teachings. It's an ideal piece for those seeking to honor the legacy of this extraordinary spiritual trailblazer in their practice or sacred space.
