Avalokiteshvara (Chenrezig) embodies Universal Compassion. He is the love that never gives up on you.
- Sacred Form:
His radiant white body glows against a deep blue nimbus, transforming hatred into mirror-like clarity. - The Hands:
His inner hands clasp the Wish-Fulfilling Jewel (Bodhicitta).
His outer right hand holds a Crystal Rosary (continuous effort to save beings), while his left holds a Blue Lotus (purity unstained by the world).
The Living Landscape: Karma Gadri Style
This painting exemplifies the unique Karma Gadri tradition.
Unlike Newari (crowded, red/gold dominant) or standard Menri styles, Karma Gadri is famous for:
- Vast Open Space:
The deity "floats" in a spacious sky, representing the emptiness of the mind. - The Stupa:
In the lower left, a pristine white Stupa stands on rugged cliffs. This symbolizes the Enlightened Mind—stable, structured, and housing the Buddha's energy. - Nature:
Realistic rocks and calm waters symbolize the stability of Dharma amidst the chaos of Samsara.
