Superb quality Tibetan Amitabha thangka painting.-Before his guru, Amitabha took 48 vows, including the vow to create, upon attaining Buddhahood, a pure land in which all who turned to him with complete faith and trust would be reborn and lead a life of peace and happiness until their final entry into nirvana.According to Tibetan Buddhism,Amitabha reigns over a Buddha country- the Land of Bliss-associated with the western direction, and he embodies discriminating wisdom, which arises when thoughts of desire and craving are purified.In order to be born in the land of bliss, one needs 4 causes: 1) whatever virtue one is practising, one must do it with bodhicitta motivation; 2) the realm of bliss,with its special features, must be imagined clearly;. 3) one must purify one's bad karma, and accumulate good karma; 4) one must pray many times . Because of his power and ability to illuminate all-pervading purelands of the ten directions, Amitabha is also known as Boundless Light and as Limitless Radiance. The body of Amitabha having the reddish glow of ruby is the sign of his affection for all sentient beings. As the sign of his ability to fulfill the wishes of all beings through his skillful means and transcendental wisdom that are inseparable from one another, he is holding a begging bowl entirely filled with nectar, resting on top of his hands.he is one of the 5 tathagatas..symbolizes mercy and wisdom,represents the true mind.intermediary between supreme reality and mankind.faith in him ensures rebirth in his paradise.High quality tradtitional Tibetan art thangka painting from one of the master artists ,from Chinghai-northern Tibetan plateau.67cmx46cm[actual painting];130cmx76cm[including satin brocade].
