About Thousand-Armed Thousand-Eyed Chenrezig
As the ultimate symbol of compassion and protection in Tibetan Buddhism, Thousand-Armed Thousand-Eyed Chenrezig is also the patron deity for those born in the Year of the Rat. In this Filigree Cloisonné Thangka:
• Chenrezig wears flowing celestial robes adorned with jewel necklaces, sitting gracefully on a purple lotus throne
• Radiant Prajna wisdom flames surround his body, exuding sacred dignity and majesty
This manifestation features 42 arms (known as the "Forty-Armed Thousand-Eyed Chenrezig"), each with distinct symbolic meanings:
• Two hands pressed together in a lotus mudra at the chest: Represents piety and purity
• Two hands in a meditation mudra: Calms the mind and body
• One hand in the fear-dispelling mudra: Alleviates anxiety and fear
• The remaining 37 hands hold sacred objects (sun, moon, scriptures, lotus, treasure vase, trident, sword, etc.):
○ Sun & Moon: Symbols of eternal light
○ Scriptures: Embody wisdom and enlightenment
○ Lotus: Signifies purity and spiritual clarity
○ Treasure Vase: Brims with boundless good fortune
○ Trident & Sword: Destroy ignorance and negative thoughts
In Esoteric Buddhism, there are specialized practices dedicated to this deity, making such depictions rare and precious. This Thangka meticulously outlines each arm and sacred object with gold wires, while mineral glazes recreate the luminous texture of wisdom flames and the lotus throne – perfectly capturing Chenrezig’s compassion and majesty. Displaying it brings complete protection, especially blessing those born in the Year of the Rat with disaster relief, lasting good fortune, and a space filled with peace and stability.
