White Tara – A Symbol of Compassion and Longevity
White Tara is a revered embodiment of compassionate energy in Buddhist tradition, known for her serene presence and nurturing grace. She represents the Four Immeasurables: Loving-Kindness, Compassion, Sympathetic Joy, and Equanimity—extending her blessings across past, present, and future. Often invoked for healing and protection, White Tara is especially associated with long life and well-being. In this thangka, she is depicted alongside the Pancha Buddha (Five Dhyani Buddhas), further enriching the spiritual significance of the artwork. Together, they symbolize purity, wisdom, and the transformative path toward enlightenment.
What is a Thangka?
A thangka (also spelled tangka, thanka, or tanka) is a traditional Tibetan Buddhist scroll painting that visually conveys spiritual teachings. Meticulously hand-painted on cotton canvas or silk, thangkas depict deities, mandalas, sacred scenes, and narrative art. These sacred paintings are typically mounted on decorative textile frames with silk covers and stored rolled up like ancient scrolls. Thangkas are used for meditation, devotional practices, and spiritual inspiration. Proper care—especially in dry, clean environments—is essential for preserving their intricate details and vibrant mineral pigments.
