From: $78.00

According to traditional Tibetan Buddhism Buddha Samantabhadra is the primordial Buddha and the central figure of the most important of all Tantras: the Guhyagarbha Tantra.
In the verses of the Nyingma texts Samantabhadra is described as the “primordial Lord of unchanging light, the central origin of all mandalas, possessing the ocean of knowledge and pristine awareness”.

In this thangka painting Samantabhadra is depicted embracing his consort Samantabhadri in Yab-Yum, the sacred union.
The color of his skin is blue and he sits naked in 'vajra' posture, with his two hands placed in his laps in the gesture of meditation.

Samantabhadra is the representation of the original nature of the mind and symbol of unity between awareness and compassion.
