Description

Thanka of the 21 Taras from the Chokling Tersar tradition, printed on high quality canvas.

The iconography of the 21 Taras differs widely among Tibetan lineages. We are therefore pleased to be able to offer these reproduction thankas that depict the 21 Taras as described by Jamyang Khyentse Wangpo in the Chokling Tersar empowerment manuals. It was Chokgyur Lingpa, a contemporary of Jamyang Khyentse Wangpo, who received the terma transmission for the Triple Excellence from Tara herself. These thankas are therefore well suited to those who will be practicing the Third Excellence in addition to any followers of the Chokling Tersar lineage who practice Tara as their main Yidam.

The original was painted by the skilled thanka artist Jamyang Phuntsog under the guidance of Chokyi Nyima Rinpoche and Lama Tenzin to ensure that every detail was correct and would thus serve as a proper support for visualization. The original thanka and replicas have been blessed by Chokyi Nyima Rinpoche.
