AVALOKITESVARA
Bodhisattva of compassion, the Guardian of Tibet - CLOSE-UP

º••••★º★••••º

For larger sizes, and for the full painting image, please see the other listing of this same painting. This listing is for prints cropped in closely. You will get a print exactly as the photos show.

º★º★º

A bodhisattva decides not to enter nirvana through death so that he can aid the sufferings of the world. He is the essence of compassion, it's active manifestation in the world.
He can appear in many forms - but here he has 1,000 arms, allowing him to help many suffering beings. Each hand has an eye that looks down compassionately on the world.

His mantra is “om mani padme hum”, and you see this painted everywhere you go in Tibet. He holds to his heart the wish-fullfilling gem of Bodhichitta, the desire to grow spiritually. On his right, one hand holds a bead mala for reciting the mantra, another a wheel of combined spiritual teaching and benevolent governance, and the third reaches out in the boon granting gesture. On his left, he holds a lotus representing that the flowering of enlightenment lies in compassionate activity, a bow and arrow symbolizing meditation and wisdom, and a vase of elixir of immortality, symbolizing that enlightenment results in boundless life.

He has ten faces representing the fact that he has mastered all ten of the bodhisattva stages, and each face represents an attitude dominant at a particular stage. Three of the faces are loving, three are peaceful, and four are fierce. Love wears many faces: sometimes it looks like a mother yelling at her child to clean up the cereal spilled all over the floor, and at other times it's the vision of a gentle kiss.

NOTE: Sizes are approximate. Please wait to buy a frame until you have the art in hand. Framed examples included in listing images are included to give you ideas on how you might frame your purchase, but I don't sell framed prints unless one is specifically listed on a drop down menu.

★ A WORD ABOUT ARCHIVAL GICLÉE PRINTS : Artwork is scanned via what looks like a really big "camera"/computer and then printed with a sophisticated inkjet printer, which is 6 feet wide, onto artists' archival heavyweight watercolor paper. This makes the most crisp accurate print available in fine art printing technology. People often mistake the prints for actual paintings.

The print sizes listed under "Options" are not standard framing sizes. I don't paint on standardized sized canvases, so each artwork is APPROXIMATELY the measurements listed. This is true for all prints except the $20 5"x 7" prints - (they ARE 5x7") and a few of the prints that are available only in one small size, like 3x4", or 6x6".

When a buyer's purchase is held at their post office rather than being delivered to their address, it is the buyer's responsibility to contact the post office and arrange for pick-up of the item. You can find your tracking number for your item by looking at your "Purchases" page on Etsy, but if you have difficulty with that please contact me.
All VAT and customs issues are taken care of through Etsy.com for foreign orders when a buyer purchases from me.
My shop is not responsible for unclaimed items left at the post office, but I will do my best to help you.
