Original fileThis Tibetan thangka painting features the Buddha Amoghasiddhi at its center, displaying the gesture of fearlessness with his right hand. He is flanked by two standing Bodhisattvas, while smaller figures of secondary deities and Bodhisattvas occupy the registers above and below. The work utilizes a vivid palette of red, green, and gold, characteristic of 13th-century Central Tibetan religious art.
Amoghasiddhi is one of the Five Wisdom Buddhas in Vajrayana Buddhism, representing the transformation of envy into the 'all-accomplishing wisdom.' His iconography is central to tantric meditation practices involving the realization of non-dual consciousness.
Tantras (Vajrayana corpus)
