Item Description
Traditional Tibetan painting (thangka) of Maitreya, framed in deep lavendar brocade. Maitreya's name is derived from the Sanskrit 'maitri' meaning 'universal loving-kindness'. When Shakyamuni Buddha's teachings disappear from this world (the teachings of the historical Buddha of our current age), negativity and misfortune will grow until, spontaneously moved by his overwhelming compassion, Maitreya will manifest in our world as a radiantly beautiful spiritual teacher inspiring people to practice the path of virtue, especially loving-kindness.
Hand-painted by Nepali-Tibetan artists in Kathmandu, Nepal, especially for FPMT The Foundation Store (www.fpmt.org) using traditional painting techniques and materials with significant gold accents. The size of the image is 10” x 12”. With brocade, the thangka measures 22” x 28” approx.
