Habe den Thanka nie selbst gesehen. Die Sendung ging direkt als Geschenk an Freunde. Ich weiss bis heute nicht ob sie es erhalten haben. Der Verkäufer war sehr freundlich in der Kommunikation, sehr bemüht der Produktsendung in den USA nachzugehen. Hoffentlich kommt es wohlbehalten beim Empfänger in den USA an!!!
Viele Grüße und alles gute fürs neue Jahr

Original Hand painted Manjushree The Deity of Wisdom Thangka
The Tibetan word Thangka means an unfolding painting, where the word Thang stands for an unfolding scroll and Ka means a painting. Thangka paintings, as a whole, are a visual representation of Buddhist deities, scenes, or mandalas, painted on silk or cotton canvas.
Thangka Paintings follow a generic principle of composition, design, and iconography. It is made following tradition and guidelines while leaving spaces for personal creativity and expression. In Buddhist culture, Thangka Paintings hold high religious values. In a way, it is also a tool that facilitates the realization of one's true nature or the nature of reality.
The right hand of Manjushri holds the Vajra handle of the Wisdom-Sword covered with coiling blazing wisdom fire. The sharp iron blades of this wisdom- sword is metaphorically used, to cut through ignorance which binds us to Samsara. This very ignorance is the main reason for clinging to self and from there all the suffering arises. Just like a sharp blade penetrates and cuts through hardest of objects, the wisdom sword or the teachings of the Buddha helps one cut through delusions of Me and Mine-the root cause of Suffering. With his left hand he holds the stem of a pastel blue lotus flower, supporting the mother of all Buddhist Texts the “Pragyaparamita-Sutra.”
