Avalokiteshvara

Avalokiteśvara Guardian of Souls Thanghka

Name:

Avalokiteśvara Guardian of Souls Thanghka

Setting:

The Lord is active from His temporary abode, the spirual dimension here on the earth plane. This is symbolized by 'drifting' on the executive lotus seat.

Main Message / Teaching:

The Lord guards the diamond / gem / priceless pearl in two hands. This symbolizes the Truth that was once hidden from humankind by religions and conventions. The Lord is guardian of our souls not only because He guards the Truth to make sure it will never again be obscured, but also by actively manifesting Wayist ethics and learning all over the world. The Lord is the Great Saviour, the Christ of all sentient being. He gave not only His life but also his liberty. He sacrifices his seat in Heaven for our sake as he is waging war on the forces that would again obscure the Truth and in so doing rob us of our birthright, the ability to fulfill our purpose in life.

Mantras:

The Lord's mantra Om Mani Padme Hum in the Tibetan script appears on the banner

Other Elements:

1) The Lord sits in the meditative action pose. This is the pose of the spiritual CEO - he is working. 

2) The Lord is not dressed for parade or official appearances, he is dressed as a yogi engaged in actiion.

3) The style of the lotus seat of the Lord, and its colour, is normative. The dusty-rose lotus is universally reserved for Avalokitesvara.

4) The Lord's body is white, the universally reserved skin colour for the Lord.

5) Behind the Lord is the disc of The Way-shower, a uniquely Wayist symbol. This mandala combines the symbols of YinYang to symbolize the two energies (the Way) which flow from the Almighty One. Through these two energies all are created and upheld, organized and managed. The universes have light (yang) energy and matter as we know it, as well as dark (yin) energy and matter as we have yet to learn about. The Way-shower mandala also carry symbols of Sirius, the Lord's and the Father's spiritual heaven where Wayists are destined to go. Then, there is the Lord's particular double dorje, with lotus ends, also a universal symbol for Wayist spirituality. The Way-shower or Margadarzaka mandala is framed as if in a lotus flower, placing the Lord in the lotus, viz. the mantra Om Mani Padme Hum

6) Sacrificial items brought to the Lord to be enthused, or blessed are symbolized in front, bottom. These symbolize any prayer, wish, cry for help, thanghka, mala, medication, or whatever we may bring to the Lord to be inspired, enthused with His divine energy.
