1. Title: Thangka of Arhat Abheda, 19th Century - A Tibetan Masterpiece of Tantric Buddhism The Thangka of Arhat Abheda, a stunning 19th-century masterpiece from Tibet, showcases the rich and intricate artistic traditions of Tantric Buddhism. This exquisite painting, adorned with mineral pigments on cotton, depicts the sixteen Arhats, enlightened beings who have achieved complete liberation from suffering. Central to this composition is Arhat Abheda, the unique Arhat who represents the unity of all Arhats. He is depicted in the form of Vajradhara, the embodiment of the ultimate reality and the source of all enlightened qualities. With his right hand in the gesture of giving, and his left hand holding a vajra, he symbolizes the union of compassion and wisdom. The sixteen Arhats, arranged around Arhat Abheda, represent various aspects of enlightenment and the stages of spiritual growth. Each Arhat is depicted with a unique attribute and symbol, reflecting their individual qualities and achievements. This Thangka is an allegory of the Buddhist Tantras, which emphasize the importance of the union of compassion and wisdom in the spiritual journey towards enlightenment. The intricate details, vibrant colors, and the harmony of the composition make this Thangka a testament to the artistic and spiritual richness of Tibetan culture. The Thangka of Arhat Abheda is a precious piece of the oriental arts, reflecting the mythological and literary traditions of Buddhism. It is a reminder of the profound teachings of the Buddha and the path to spiritual liberation. This Thangka is a private collection, cherished for its artistic and spiritual significance. It is a rare and valuable example of the Tantric Buddhist art of Tibet, and a testament to the enduring influence of Buddhism on world culture.
