EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 12th century painting depicts Karma Amitayus, one of the embodiments of the compassionate Buddha of Infinite Light and Long Life, from a Mandala of the Ninefold Amitayus. The painting, created between c1170 and c1189, is an anonymous work of art from the Tibetan Buddhist tradition. Karma Amitayus is depicted in the center, seated in the lotus position with her legs crossed and her right hand in the gesture of giving, while her left hand rests in her lap in the gesture of reflection. She is adorned with jewels and ornaments, symbolizing her divine nature, and her body is surrounded by a halo of flames, representing her enlightened mind. The painting is executed with intricate detail and vibrant colors, using mineral pigments and gold on cotton cloth. The artist's skillful use of color and symbolism conveys the profound spiritual meaning of the image. This painting is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of South and Southeast Asian art and the enduring influence of Tibetan Buddhism. It is currently housed at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors from around the world. The Mandala of the Ninefold Amitayus is a complex and symbolic representation of the Buddhist cosmos, and this painting offers a glimpse into the intricacies of Tibetan Buddhist art and philosophy. The figure of Karma Amitayus embodies the compassionate and enlightened nature of the Buddha, and her image serves as a reminder of the potential for spiritual growth and transformation within each of us.
