Vajrapani Mandala Thangka  About Our Thangka : We have had this Thangka in our collection for over 20 years now. Our thangka was stored away for several years. We were thrilled to discover the quality and depth of these beautiful thangkas when we unveiled them and decided to showcase them online for everyone. Introduction to Vajrapani Mandala Thangka  The name Vajrapani means the holder of the Vajra representing the power aspect of complete enlightenment. In the Sutra tradition of Mahayana Buddhism the Bodhisattva Vajrapani is portrayed in a peaceful appearance while in the Vajrayana tradition he is described in his most characteristic wrathful form and known as Guhyapati that means 'the Lord of Secrets' because he is considered as the main recipient and protector of all the sacred Tantra texts, literature, and teachings derived directly from Buddha Shakyamuni.------------------------------------------------------------------Size: 11"/ 28 cm (width) x 11"/ 28 cm (height)Materials: Cott
