Samantabhadra Thangka | Hand-Painted Bodhisattva of Virtue and Universal Wisdom
Samantabhadra, the Bodhisattva of Great Practice and Universal Virtue, embodies the boundless compassion and wisdom that guide beings toward enlightenment. He represents the perfection of vows and altruistic action — the aspiration to serve all sentient life without distinction. In Buddhist teachings, Samantabhadra is the living expression of the vow to transform wisdom into compassionate deeds, reminding us that enlightenment is realized through virtuous action.
In this thangka, Samantabhadra sits serenely upon a majestic six-tusked white elephant — a symbol of vast spiritual strength and unwavering resolve. His hands form the Dharmachakra Mudra, the gesture of teaching and turning the wheel of Dharma, radiating the energy of pure transmission and truth. Draped in flowing green and golden robes and adorned with jeweled ornaments, he emanates both serenity and sacred dignity. A golden halo encircles him, surrounded by delicate floral motifs that emphasize his divine brilliance and boundless vow.
Hand-painted in Lhasa, Tibet, this thangka follows traditional techniques preserved for centuries. Natural mineral pigments — malachite for greens, azurite for blues, cinnabar for reds — are ground by hand and layered with exquisite precision. Each delicate line and brushstroke embodies the artist’s devotion, transforming pigment and canvas into a meditative act of offering. The result is a painting designed not just to be seen, but to be felt — a living expression of spiritual beauty and inner peace.
Created by Lixindi, a recognized master of Tibetan intangible cultural heritage, this Samantabhadra Thangka reflects over thirty years of disciplined artistry. Renowned for his mastery in linework and facial rendering, Lixindi’s paintings are celebrated for their lifelike depth — legends say that the more vivid the face, the stronger the Buddha’s blessing. His work bridges devotion and artistry, infusing each thangka with a spirit that feels both ancient and alive.
Beyond its visual beauty, this thangka embodies Samantabhadra’s vow of limitless compassion and wisdom in action. Display it in your home, temple, or meditation space to invoke blessings of clarity, integrity, and steadfast purpose. For practitioners, it serves as a reminder to live one’s vows through compassionate deeds; for collectors, it stands as a timeless fusion of sacred art and spiritual aspiration.
“Wisdom blossoms through virtuous action.”
Invite the enlightened presence of Samantabhadra — a hand-painted thangka radiating grace, strength, and the vow of universal goodness.
