Iconography & Sacred Assembly

This Rigsum Gonpo (Three Lords) Thangka shows Avalokiteshvara, Manjushri, Vajrapani, and the Five Dhyani Buddhas. 

Together they form a full mandala of compassion, wisdom, and protection.

Central Deity – Avalokiteshvara (Chenrezig)

Avalokiteshvara is the bodhisattva of compassion and the main figure of the painting. He invites you to open your heart to all beings.

• Sacred Form: His white, four‑armed body shines against the red sky and floral ground, turning cold indifference into warm care.
• Posture: He sits in full lotus (vajra) on a lotus throne, showing perfect inner stability.
• Mudras and Attributes: His main hands hold a wish‑fulfilling jewel at his heart in prayer mudra. His right outer hand holds a crystal mala for constant practice. His left outer hand holds a blue lotus, a sign of pure wisdom. A green halo and golden aureole, crown, and jewels show your own noble, bright nature.

The Five Dhyani Buddhas

Above Avalokiteshvara sit the Five Dhyani Buddhas, a crown of wisdom. Each one changes a negative emotion into insight.

• Upper Left: Blue Akshobhya touches the earth, turning anger into mirror‑like wisdom.
• Upper Centre-Left: Yellow Ratnasambhava offers generosity, changing pride into the wisdom of equality.
• Upper Centre: White Vairochana transforms ignorance into all‑pervading wisdom.
• Upper Centre-Right: Red Amitabha meditates, shifting attachment into clear, loving awareness.
• Upper Right: Green Amoghasiddhi raises the fearlessness mudra, turning jealousy into all‑accomplishing wisdom.

Lower Left – Manjushri

• Form and Meaning: Golden‑orange Manjushri sits on a lotus, holding a blue lotus that bears sword and scripture. He gives you sharp insight to cut through confusion.

Lower Right – Vajrapani

• Form and Meaning: Deep blue Vajrapani dances in flames, holding the vajra. He is the power that removes obstacles and protects your practice.

Living Landscape

The deities sit in a world that reflects the awakened mind.

• Background Style: 
  Red sky, floral terrestrial landscape, and a black Nagthang mantra border with golden text create a strong sacred field.
• Symbolic Elements: 
  Flowers show purity and growth; clouds and mountains suggest wide, open awareness and steady support.

Artisan Mastery

• Artistic Lineage: 
  Painted by a trained Newari thangka artist in Kathmandu.
• Renowned For: 
  Jewel‑like colours, fine 24K-gold details, and clear, balanced composition.
• Craftsmanship: 
  Each line follows traditional Tibetan thangka proportions, so the image truly supports meditation.
