Both of the sacred images faithfully adhere to the authentic guidelines for thangkas described in the sutras, tantras, and shastras. These precious thangka paintings were created under the esteemed direction of Great Buddhist Master Dzogchen Khenpo Choga Rinpoche by the principal artist, Bodhi Lama Khandro Padma Wongmo, Amanda Simons, along with a team of skilled painters from around the globe. The work took more than a decade to complete. The complete image consists of three parts. First, the sacred Buddha image itself. Second, the back of the printed image, which is an extensive text description including mantras, mandalas, prayers, sadhana, dedication, and aspirations. Third, a concise text description of usage and information about this sacred image.
These Great Seeing Liberation Buddha Images are the perfect sacred support for visualizing and meditating on the Supreme Guide, Buddha Shakyamuni and the Embodiment of All Buddhas, Guru Padmasambhava. By focusing on these Buddha images with faith and devotion, a Dharma practitioner can swiftly increase their positive thinking and receive the blessings of all Buddhas. They are also the excellent holy objects for taking refuge in the Three Supreme Jewels and the Three Supreme Roots. Moreover, visualizing Buddha according to the details of these sacred images is the supreme support for arousing the pure intention of precious bodhicitta and establishing pure perception in present moment thinking.
