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.

Shakyamuni Buddha With Amitabha and Medicine Buddha:
Shakyamuni Buddha, along with Amitabha and Medicine Buddha, represents a profound combination of enlightenment, compassion, and healing. Shakyamuni Buddha, the historical person who reached enlightenment under the Bodhi tree, stands in the center, representing Buddhism's foundational teachings and the way to liberation. The thangka becomes an ensemble of spiritual ambition and fulfillment when Amitabha Buddha, the embodiment of boundless compassion and the Pure Land of Sukhavati, and Medicine Buddha, observed for his healing qualities and compassionate dedication to alleviating suffering, are placed above it.
Shakyamuni Buddha represents the historical lineage of teachings that guide practitioners to enlightenment, whereas Amitabha and Medicine Buddha above reflect the devotional and healing aspects of Buddhist practice. They embody the holistic path to enlightenment, combining wisdom, faith, compassion, and the aspiration for spiritual and physical well-being. This portrayal serves as a powerful reminder of the universal aspiration for peace and liberation from suffering, inviting practitioners to integrate these qualities into their spiritual journey. For those seeking to infuse their surroundings with spiritual significance and healing energy, depictions of Shakyamuni Buddha, Amitabha, and Medicine Buddha offer a profound connection to the core teachings of Buddhism and serve as inspiring adornments in homes, meditation spaces, and places of worship.
Shakyamuni Buddha, Amitabha, and Medicine Buddha are simple yet profound ways to infuse tranquility, reverence, and spiritual depth into your home, meditation area, or place of worship, connecting you to the core teachings of Buddhism and promoting peace and healing in your surroundings.
