An exquisite and rare piece of art in the admiration of Goddess Palden Lhamo. Its mesmerising beauty is simply enchanting. I just can't stop appreciating the artisan, who hand painted this fine piece of art, which would have taken months to complete . My personal thanks to the artisan and the seller for making this rare and precious item available all over the world. I hope there will be more beautiful items like this, depicting Goddess Palden Lhamo will be available in future as items related to the Goddess Palden Lhamo are quite rare.

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 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 .
