HIGH QUALITY THANGKAS: KEEPING A TRADITIONAL NEPALI ART ALIVE By this pure intention of an artist Mr.

Nepal is country full of culture, art and archeological monuments which has always been savored by the lover of culture, art and monuments. As Nepal was underdeveloped country without development infrastructure, lot of people were forced to go aboard for the work through they were skilled in arts and crafts we felt necessity of stopping these people going aboard and utilizing their talents in the

ir own homeland. We felt necessity of opening thangka painting school, by which we can preserve our crafts and at the same we can give knowledge to the young people who are aspiring in it. Ram Bahadur Lama, this institution has been established in 1972.

The first benefit of meditation is that it may help to create a sense of calm and for a few minutes at least, some peace of mind. Meditation begins to make our thoughts more friendly: they start listen to us, rather us being controlled by them.

The subject depicted in the thanka is Guruparampara, a “Line of Teachers.” It depicts the family tree of Nyingma lineage, as it were, and its function is to indicate a line of descent. The meaning of this presentation is to show a refuge for believers. It creates a kind of structure with a number of deities and teachers in whom devotees take refuge, because they will help believers in the course of their spiritual development. Gurus have always been venerated in Buddhism, Jainism, Brahmanism and the religion and faith originated in Indian-subcontinent and in many other regions. They show right path to their disciples for emancipation. There are different lineage or guruparampara, in Tibetan Buddhism and this painting, as mentioned above, depicts Nyingma lineage.

Vajradhara is the progenitor of all the ta***ic transmissions of the Kagyu tradition. He is deep blue in colour, holds a vajra and bell in his crossed hands, is adorned with the thirteen silk and jeweled ornaments, and sits in vajra-posture upon a white moon, multicoloured lotus.

Primordial Buddha’ Vajradhara seated at the centre of the Karma Kagyu Refuge Tree, with the main lineage holders of this tradition in the upper canopy of the tree, its principal meditational deities in the lower branches, and its main protective deities on the row of clouds beneath the tree.

Each of the four main schools of Tibetan Buddhism (Nyingma, Sakya, Kagyu, and Gelug) has its own Refuge Tree to display the lineage of its masters. The Refuge Tree is important to the practitioner not only as a support for the practice known as “going for refuge,” in which a commitment to the path is made before the vast lineage of teachers, but also as an object of visualization and meditation, practices that nourish faith, inspire efforts, and impart blessings for spiritual progress.

In this Gelugpa Refuge Tree Tsongkhapa, who is the founder of the lineage, is surrounded by a host of figures of refuge, including bodhisattvas, meditation deities (Tib. yidams), and guardians. Directly above Tsongkhapa’s head, the succession of lineage gurus is portrayed, culminating with the central blue figure at the top, Vajradhara, the Primordial Buddha, who is the ultimate source of refuge within the Gelugpa tradition.

The thirty-five buddhas are special confession buddhas. While they were still bodhisattvas, that made special vows to assist other beings to overcome their negativities. The practice of 35 Confessional Buddhas is one of the best methods to purify our negative karma and can lead to attainments on the path towards enlightenment. Thirty-five Confession Buddhas are a representation of the purification of Bodhisattva aspiration and moral code of Mahayana Buddhism. These Buddha are the source of purification and we must completely believe in them and take refuge in them to develop Bodhichitta. Everything can be overcome by sincerely reciting the confession prayer and imagining that the Thirty-five Buddhas and all the buddhas of ten directions are really there. It should be done with total faith, devotion, remorse, humility and conviction in wanting to overcome.

The Buddha not only makes suffering and release from suffering the focus of his teaching, but he deals with the problem of suffering in a way that reveals extraordinary psychological insight. He traces suffering to its roots within our minds, first to our craving and clinging, and then a step further back to ignorance, a primordial unawareness of the true nature of things. Since suffering arises from our own minds, the cure must be achieved within our minds, by dispelling our defilements and delusions with insight into reality.

We should be harmony with all people, whether they are following this is other religion, or whether they are non believers. We should be in harmony with all sentient beings which is the key to practice our loving - kindness, compassion and bodhichitta.
