5. White Mahakala Thangka (Thanka). Free Brocade / Free Shipping.

White Mahakala WHITE MAHAKALA is a wrathful (compassionate ferocity) aspect of Avalokitesvara (Chenrezig). Through his compassion, White Mahakala eliminates spiritual and material poverty for all beings, bringing us abundance. WHITE MAHAKALA'S mantra is: OM GURU MAHAKALA HARI NI SA SIDDHI DZA In this form, he demonstrates the compassionate activity of overcoming obstacles and attracting positive influences. His body is white and he is standing. He has six arms, each holding a different implement, and three eyes. He is adorned with jeweled ornaments and wears a beautiful skirt made of many scarves with jewels hanging down on the skirt. His main right hand holds a wish-fulfilling jewel mounted on a jewel-tipped handle in front of his chest. This emblem appears in pictures of deities associated with wealth. Origin of Mahakala An inconceivably long time ago, Avalokitesvara gave rise to bodhicitta. As eons passed, he reached the tenth stage of a bodhisattva, and vowed to remain in samsara in order to liberate beings from suffering. "If ever I break this vow," he said, "may my body break into a thousand pieces." Still more eons passed, during which he engaged in continuous activity on behalf of all sentient beings, to vouchsafe their liberation. However, there came a time when his clairvoyant understanding of things as they seem caused him to think that his efforts were all in vain. That moment of doubt was sufficient to break his vow, whereupon his body shattered. Immediately perceiving a bodhisattva in great distress, Buddha Amitabha appeared and reassembled the pieces into the eleven-faced thousand-armed form of Avalokitesvara we all know today. Buddha Amitabha counseled Avalokitesvara: "You must make an even stronger vow this time!" A stronger vow? How could such a thing be possible? Stymied by the vast challenge, Avalokitesvara fell into a swoon that lasted for seven days. When he regained consciousness, he did so with the idea that by appearing in a wrathful form, he could train sentient beings, protect sentient beings, and provide for sentient beings. His idea was quite straightforward: he decided to accomplish this three-fold activity simply by granting wishes. This vow crystallized in his heart as a blue-black syllable HUNG, which transformed into Mahakala, empowered with the body, speech, mind, qualities, and activity of all the Buddhas of the three times.
