Description
This Manjushri t’hangka is hand-painted with a brocade frame.
Akshobhya: Skt. akṣobhya; Tib. མི་བསྐྱོད་པ་, Mi-kyod-pa. The Buddha Akshobhya is the lord of the Vajra family. He established the enlightened intention that all sentient beings could purify any degree of non virtue, and even the extreme non virtue of hatred, violence, and killing can be cleansed through relying on him as the focus of meditation. Akshobhya explicitly promised that the merit generated by reciting one-hundred-thousand of his long dhayani mantra and creating an image of him could be dedicated to another person, even someone long deceased, and they would be assured of release from lower states of existence and rebirth in spiritually fortunate circumstances. Akshobhya is a deep blue color and sits with his left hand in an earth-touching mudra and his right hand holds a vajra in the palm.
