Product Overview
This Zaki Lhamo & Green Tara Double-Sided Thangka – “Past & Present” is a pure hand-painted Tibetan thangka, created as a refined devotional artwork and enclosed in a gold-plated copper gau box.
The front depicts Zaki Lhamo, a widely revered female protector and wealth guardian in Tibetan Buddhism, whose story symbolizes redemption, rebirth, and compassionate protection in the present world.
The back features Green Tara, the embodiment of active compassion, wisdom, and swift assistance, together with her mantra seed syllable.
This double-sided composition reflects a traditional understanding in Tibetan Buddhism: Zaki Lhamo and Green Tara are often regarded as different manifestations of the same compassionate principle, associated with Avalokiteśvara’s enlightened activity.
Zaki Lhamo – Past & Present
In Tibetan tradition, Zaki Lhamo’s story represents a journey from suffering to awakening. Her “past and present” symbolism reflects the Buddhist view of karma and rebirth, emphasizing that hardship can be transformed into wisdom and protective strength.
As a Dharma Protector, Zaki Lhamo is traditionally associated with:
-
Safeguarding daily life and livelihood
-
Supporting stability and balance
-
Encouraging resilience and ethical responsibility
Her role is not about excess or desire-driven gain, but about creating the conditions for steadiness, clarity, and constructive action.
Green Tara – Compassion in Action
Green Tara is one of the most beloved bodhisattvas in Tibetan Buddhism, revered as the embodiment of compassion united with wisdom and swift response.
She is traditionally associated with:
-
Protection during times of fear or uncertainty
-
Emotional calm and mental clarity
-
Support during travel, transitions, and life changes
Green Tara’s presence symbolizes active compassion—the readiness to respond to suffering with wisdom and courage.
The Unity of Zaki Lhamo & Green Tara
In Tibetan Buddhist understanding, Zaki Lhamo and Green Tara are often viewed as expressions of the same compassionate essence, appearing in different forms to meet different needs.
When Combined, They Symbolically Represent:
-
Compassion with Strength
Zaki Lhamo’s protective energy united with Green Tara’s gentle wisdom. -
Outer Stability & Inner Clarity
Support for navigating external responsibilities while cultivating inner calm. -
Transformation Through Awareness
The movement from difficulty toward balance through mindful action.
This pairing is valued not for promises of instant results, but as a contemplative reminder of compassionate responsibility and resilience.
Green Tara Mantra Seed Syllable
The back of the thangka includes Green Tara’s mantra seed syllable, traditionally used in meditation and visualization practices.
-
Seed syllables represent the essence of enlightened qualities
-
Combined with mantra recitation, they support focus, mindfulness, and ethical intention
-
Green Tara’s mantra is traditionally associated with fearlessness, clarity, and compassionate action
This symbolic element enhances the thangka’s role as a spiritual and cultural object, rather than a purely decorative piece.
