Welcome to a collection of Thanka reproductions from Italian artist Leonardo Ceglie. Leonardo paints in his own style, but uses always the strict measures and ratio of what is usual for Buddhist images. The colour combinations are striking, and characteristic of his work. Using ultra-chrome pigments and the best quality canvas, these reproductions have a guaranteed life span and colour fastness. At the back side of each Thangka are the Tibetan OM AH HUM depicted, at the height of the crown, throat and heat chakra, as a kind of blessing for the Thangka. The reproductions may be framed to your liking. Each Thangka reproduction comes wrapped in an attractive brocade wrapping with lotus patterns, and carries a highlighted label in colour print, with the name of the Buddha image and a prayer for all living beings.
The Red Tara is a female manifestation of enlightened energy; she is very popular in Tibetan Buddhism. There are 21 manifestations of Tara; the most important are the White, Green and Red Tara. Characteristic for her manifestation are the seven eyes in head, palms of the hands and feet, and she is sitting in full lotus position. In her right hand she holds a stalk of a white lotus. The mantra goes: Om Tare Tuttare Ture Svaha.
