Tang1: Medicine Buddha Tangka	Tang2: White Tara Tangka

Tibetan Tangka—1800-1899 In Private Ojai Collection Bhaisajyaguru, Medicine Buddha Shakyamuni Buddha, as Bhaisajyaguru, the Medicine Buddha, sits on a throne at the center of the palace, at the center of Sudarsana, the city of medicine. In attendence are gods of the devaloka, hermit scholars, Hindu dieties, and Buddhist followers, including bodhisattvas and devout students. Each class of students receives teachings appropriate to their own level of understanding of the fundamental nature of reality and the lives of beings. "If one meditates on the Medicine Buddha, one will eventually attain enlightenment, but in the meantime one will experience an increase in healing powers both for oneself and others and a decrease in physical and mental illness and suffering." —Lama Tashi Namgyal	Tibetan Tangka—1800-1899 In Private Ojai Collection White Tara White Tara is a goddess who embodies the spirit of Compassion. She wears the Bodhisattva ornaments. A Bodhisatva vow is to continue to return to this world until the enlightenment of all sentient beings. The White Tara recognizes our oneness in love. Operating from the space of this compassionate love contributes directly to a long and fulfilling life. Tara has seven eyes: the two usual eyes, plus one in the center of her forehead and eyes in her hands and feet. These indicate that she sees all suffering and all cries for help, even in the human world, even in the worlds of pain, using both ordinary and psychic or extraordinary means of perception. She carries day lotuses. White Tara has her own mantra. It is: OM TARE TUTARE TURE MAMA AYURPUNYE JNANA PUTIN KURU SVAHA. (Ohm Tahray Totahray tooray mahmah ahyoopoonyay jahnah pooteen kooroo swah hah).
Tang3: Avalokiteshvara Tangka	Tang4: Kuan Yin Tangka
	Tibetan Tangka—1875-1925 In Private Ojai Collection Kuan Yin Kuan Yin, known to many as the Goddess of Compassion, is a representative of the Divine Mother. She transmutes the cause, effect, record and memory of negative karma. Kuan Yin is a bodhisattva, a being of wisdom destined to become a Buddha, who has taken the bodhisattva vow to save all beings from suffering and forgo the final state of Buddhahood (Nirvana) until this is accomplished. Kuan Yin embodies the flame of mercy and compassion for all. We can pray to her for comfort, healing, guidance and succor, for compassion, mercy and forgiveness not only for ourselves but also for all mankind. She shows us the way to free ourselves from all hardness of heart through the flame of forgiveness and how to have compassion for all.
Tibetan Tangka—1800 to 1850 In Private Ojai Collection The Four-Faced Bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara The four faces represent loving kindness, compassion, sympathetic joy for others, and equanimity. Endowed with complete illumination, and devoted to the salvation of others, this bodhisattva refrains from entering the blissful state of nirvana to remain here below and save the creatures of the earth. Every person whose heart is moved by love and compassion, who deeply and sincerely acts for the benefit of others without concern for fame, profit, social position or recognition expresses the activity of Avalokiteshvara.
