Surrounding him are several figures including a Lama with attributes similar to those associated with Panchen Losang Yeshe Paldan, Bhaishajyaguru and Manjushri. \n\nThe extent of the inscriptions and drawing on its reverse makes this thangka unique in the Horniman\u2019s collection. \n\nFor a thangka to be effective it first must be consecrated. Typically this involves inscribing the reverse of the painting with the mantra OM AH HUNG, or Body, Speech, Mind. These syllables are written on the thangka by a Rinpoche -a reincarnated Buddha, returned to help others reach enlightenment- or a high lama. The location of the syllables corresponds to the deity depicted on the thangka: body is marked on the other side of the canvas to the forehead, speech, the throat and mind, the heart. Through this process of consecration (or rapney in Tibetan) the image on the thangka becomes the deity it depicts.\n\nIn this case all the figures on the thangka have been consecrated with OM AH HUNG inscriptions. Unusually there is also a stupa (or chorten in Tibetan) on the reverse, each section of which contains Sanskrit verse written in phoneticised Tibetan.\n\nOne section of the chorten also contains an inscription in Tibetan which translates as follows, \u201c\"In the river bank of limitless sand in the east, Unconquerable Glory of the pure Buddha field , the Bhagavat or Buddha, surrounded by countless Bodhisattvas, the Glorious Mtshan-legs-yongs-gragsdpal [one of eight medicine Buddhas]....\"\n\nThe sections that make up chorten have manifold meanings. Writing prayers in these sections imbues those prayers with special significance. It is likely therefore that this thangka was created with specific purposes in mind, but we are currently unclear as to what they would have been." }, { "date": [ { "earliest": 2014, "value": "2014-07-30", "latest": 2014, "primary": true } ], "attribution": { "attributor": "Crowley, Tom" }, "type": "use (online)", "value": "Thangka are devotional paintings which are particularly associated with Vajrayana Buddhism. They are always executed on cloth and often have ornate fabric surrounds and covers. Thangka can fulfil several different purposes -they are for example often used as teaching aids- however, perhaps their most important role is to focus meditation. Thangka that are used for meditation will generally depict a yidam; a special deity, the particular attributes of which assist a practitioner\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s spiritual progression. A yidam is often allocated to a practitioner by a mentor who understands the practitioner\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s specific needs. By inhabiting the body and attributes of the yidam through meditation a practitioner can work to erode the obstacles to enlightenment. Since thangka are sacred objects their manufacture follows careful guidelines. For example, thangka painters must follow pre-established templates when depicting specific deities. Not to do so would jeopardise the efficacy of the thangka. It is also argued that thangka painters should approach their work in a right-minded manner; the large-scale manufacture of thangkas for sale to the international market, is for some a distortion and a devaluation of the practice of thangka painting." } ], "language": [ "eng" ], "collection": "Anthropology", "type": { "sub_type": [ "general" ], "scope": "WHOLE", "base": "object" }, "condition": [
