Buddhistdoor Quote for Today: There is no other difficult practice equal to patience—not getting angry with someone who harms you, and even if you do get angry, not remain­ing so. It is the ultimate austerity. Therefore do not allow yourself even the slightest occasion for anger, which is incompatible with such a sublime austerity as patience. — Kangyur Rinpoche

In the middle of
the journey of our life
I came to myself
within a dark wood where the straight way was lost.

Buddhistdoor Quote for Today: When you are not clear about the purpose of your life, you are never clear when it comes to making decisions that affect your life. You always hesitate and are always in danger of making the wrong decision. When your only purpose for living is the benefit of others, it is very easy to make the right decision. — Lama Thubten Zopa Rinpoche (1945–2023) 🔗 Explore more: buddhistdoor.net

The Buddhist Deities Chakrasamvara and Vajravarahi
Mineral pigments and traces of gold on cotton cloth
circa 15th century CE

#buddhism #buddhistart #handmade #antique #tibet #tibetanart #chakrasamvara #vajravarahi #painting #cloth #circa15thcentury #commonera #tibetanart #tibetanbuddhism
The central blue figure of Chakrasamvara (The Union of the Wheel of the Elements) symbolizing the blissful state of perfect wisdom) stands in passionate embrace with his red-bodied consort Vajravarahi (The Diamond Sow). They are surrounded by a fiery red aureole, with numerous cremation grounds and the deities who preside over them depicted in the background. Vajrayana (adamantine or diamond) Buddhism differs from the two earlier forms of Buddhism, Theravada (The Doctrine of the Elders) and Mahayana (The Great Vehicle), through its use of incantation and ritual as the primary tools to achieve enlightenment. In addition, through their use, the practitioner can gain power over beings in other spheres of existence, either by dominating them, so that they will do ones will, or by identifying oneself with them, so that one may enjoy their higher states of existence. Tantric or esoteric Buddhist art is symbolic, with each symbol taking on new meaning when it is interpreted to the practitioner. On a conceptual level this dramatic image of Chakrasamvara and his spouse, Vajravarahi symbolizes the union of Wisdom and Means. The four faces of Chakrasamvara and their four colors symbolize the four elements (earth, water, fire and air). The three eyes on each face indicate that he sees each of the three worlds (earth, heaven and hell) and that he is aware of the three times (past, present and future). To symbolize the great compassion which has caused him to remain in this world and assist living beings, with his right foot he tramples the red figure of the Night of Time symbolizing the extremes of nirvana (final extinction) and with his right foot he tramples on the figure of Bhairava who represents samsara (the illusion of this world). The garland of 50 severed heads represents the purity of the 50 consonants and vowels of the Sanskrit alphabet.

Buddhistdoor Quote for Today: Now that you have this unique opportunity, free and well-favored, Use it, I beg you, to practice Dharma for the benefit of future lives.
