Vajradhara Thangka - (20" * 30")

Vajradhara, known as the "Holder of the Vajra" or the Primordial Buddha, represents the ultimate source of all tantric teachings in Tibetan Buddhism. This magnificent thangka depicts the Adi-Buddha (First Buddha) as the embodiment of the Dharmakaya - the truth body from which all Buddhas emanate and to which they return.

• Deep Blue Body: Represents the infinite, unchanging nature of ultimate reality and the boundless Dharma realm

Spiritual Significance

Vajradhara is revered as the source of all Vajrayana transmissions and the ultimate teacher of tantra.
