Amitabha Buddha Mandala

Hasta Thangka Art Center wrote : Amitabha Buddha is being portrayed as Shakyamuni Buddha but usually, he is often depicted seated in meditation mudra while earth touching mudra is reserved for a seated Shakyamuni Buddha alone. In Tibetan Buddhism, Amitabha is red in color (red being the color of love, compassion, and emotional energy). He is being known to protect beings from the negative emotions of attachment his unique emblem is the lotus.

He is thus associated with the attributes of the lotus: gentleness, openness, and purity. Amitabha is known as the red Buddha of the west and the most ancient among the Five Dhyani Buddhas of the Vajrayana tradition. Amitabha means infinite light and he is also known as “Amitayus” or Buddha of the infinite life. A mandala is a spiritual and ritual symbol in Asian cultures.

It can be understood in two different ways: externally as a visual representation of the universe or internally as a guide for several practices that take place in many Asian traditions, including meditation. In Hinduism and Buddhism, the belief is that by entering the mandala and proceeding towards its center, you are guided through the cosmic process of transforming the universe from one of suffering into one of joy and happiness.

Yama Dharmaraja

Rubin Museum of Art wrote : 認証済み Rubin Museum of Art いいね！656件 rubinmuseumのプロフィール写真 rubinmuseum 認証済み In this painting, the wrathful deity, Yama Dharmaraja, wears a crown of skulls and a garland of freshly severed heads. He is surrounded by flames and stands astride a buffalo and a human corpse. This deity is one of several terrifying forms of Bodhisattva Manjushri and represents the fiercest version of wisdom.

“It is so weird, we have this idea of Buddhism and this idea of compassion, where everything is nice and calm. And people are sitting there burning their sage, but, you know, those moments exist, but compassion sometimes looks like this picture.” shares Amanda Palmer (@amandapalmer) in response to this artwork in Ep. 5 of our AWAKEN podcast.
