Zashi Lhamo
Zashi Lhamo, also known as Jhāṇavati in Sanskrit, is a Buddhist deity and a form of Vajrayogini, a Tantric goddess in Tibetan Buddhism. Zashi Lhamo is considered a wrathful aspect of Vajrayogini and is often associated with practices related to overcoming obstacles, protection, and the removal of negativities.
In iconography, Zashi Lhamo is depicted with a fierce and wrathful appearance, adorned with skulls, wearing a garland of severed heads, and standing on a lotus or a human figure. The wrathful attributes symbolize the forceful compassion that destroys obstacles and liberates beings from suffering.
Devotees may engage in rituals, prayers, and meditation practices dedicated to Zashi Lhamo to seek her blessings for protection, removal of obstacles, and the swift accomplishment of spiritual goals. As a wrathful deity, Zashi Lhamo is believed to have the power to subdue and transform negative energies, guiding practitioners on the path to enlightenment. Her practice is often associated with the Chakrasamvara Tantra within Tibetan Buddhism.
Thang-ga
A Thangka is a traditional Tibetan Buddhist painting on cotton or silk, renowned for its intricate details and vibrant colors. Typically depicting deities, like Zashi Lhamo, scenes from Buddhist cosmology, or mandalas, Thangkas serve as essential tools for meditation, teaching aids, and objects of veneration in Tibetan Buddhism. Each element in a Thangka, from colors to hand gestures, carries symbolic significance rooted in Buddhist teachings. The paintings often feature mandalas representing the universe, aiding practitioners in meditation and providing a visual understanding of cosmic principles. Beyond their artistic allure, Thangkas hold spiritual significance, used in rituals and ceremonies, and are created with precision by skilled artists following traditional guidelines, contributing to their revered status in Tibetan and Himalayan Buddhist cultures.
