Habe den Thanka nie selbst gesehen. Die Sendung ging direkt als Geschenk an Freunde. Ich weiss bis heute nicht ob sie es erhalten haben. Der Verkäufer war sehr freundlich in der Kommunikation, sehr bemüht der Produktsendung in den USA nachzugehen. Hoffentlich kommt es wohlbehalten beim Empfänger in den USA an!!!
Viele Grüße und alles gute fürs neue Jahr

Amitabha Buddha is red in color and he is seated in a meditative posture ; hence his mudra is called ‘ dhyanamudra’ . His two palms are joined together with the right on the left, two thumbs of both hands touching each other. An Alms bowl is between his two palms. Here the hand gesture, representing meditative equipoise, represents the unity of wisdom and compassion.
Through his knowledge of discriminate wisdom, a bodhisattva understands the empty nature of all sentient beings and develops great compassion for them. This is the dhyana or meditation of Buddha Amitabha.
His color is red, symbolizing the fires of desire. When a Boddhisattva understands the discriminative wisdom of Amitabha Buddha he can use even the fires of desire on the path to Enlightenment. His symbol is a lotus , representing purity. Though he himself is untainted by the evils of samsara, he nevertheless takes birth in samsara for the benefit of the sentient beings.
