Who knows Thangka?

Thangka is a Tibetan transliteration, which means scroll Buddha statue.

In the article On Thangka Art, Tanrang Asai introduced that Thangka can be divided into two categories-Guo Tang and Zhi Tang.

① Tangguo means silk Thangka. This kind of thangka can be divided into four parts: 1, hand-embroidered thangka with silk; 2. Silk woven Thangka, a kind of silk woven Thangka made of silk by wooden machines and machinery; 3, applique Thangka, cut with various colors of cloth to form Thangka stuck on canvas and some inlaid with treasures; 4. Printing Thangka means printing woodcuts, copperplate plates and iron plates on silk, which is called printing Thangka in Tang Guo.

(2) The wisdom of the Tang Dynasty is to draw Thangka. This Thangka can also be divided into four parts: 1, which is called Jin Tang when the Buddha's body or background is dominated by gold; 2. The main color painted with cinnabar ochre and other pigments is called cinnabar soup; 3. The black background painting is called Black Tang; 4. Printed on the cloth with wooden boards, copper sheets and iron plates is called Tang Zhi Printed Thangka.

Fruit Tang is printed on silk and wisdom Tang is printed on cloth, which is the difference between the two kinds of printing.

In addition, there is Jian Tang, which belongs to the wisdom Tang. You can't hang it casually, but draw it on the wall according to the size of the wall.

Second, Thangka's artistic strength and vitality

Thangka is a treasure of Tibetan Buddhist culture, and its artistic power has shocked mankind. In addition to its unique artistic talent, the founders of the major sects of Tibetan Buddhism have given Tangka fresh life and made their own, just like the method of simultaneous interpretation, passing on Tangka and its painting art from generation to generation in a very sacred way. Few people who accept the inheritance regard Thangka as a work of art, but all inheritors regard Thangka as a living Buddha, a master, a triple gem and a living guru!

This is the fundamental reason why Thangka has been regarded as a treasure for many years.

Iii. Thangka, the nearest treasure.

Jinci Temple belongs to the first Tibetan Yellow Sect Temple in the Mainland, and its Tangka dates back to Zong Kaba, a reform master called the second dharma king by Buddhists! When the master was studying in Tibet, his mother missed him very much and sent her son a bunch of white hair from his hometown in Qinghai (now Ta 'er Temple). I want Zong Kaba to go home and see her elderly mother. Master Zong Kaba also loves his mother very much. He holds her white hair in his hands and is affectionate! I really want to fly to my mother at once, but I don't have much time to go to Qian Shan. In order to make more mothers feel happy after suffering, I have to suppress my yearning for my mother. In order to comfort my mother, the master mixed his own blood with other colors and drew a portrait of Thangka, which I entrusted to my mother!

Later, Zong Kaba eventually became the founder of the Yellow Sect.

Master Zong Kaba inherited the Dafa that the venerable Adi Gorge in ancient India was introduced into Tibet from India in the 1 1 century, including all the art and operation process of drawing Thangka. Since the venerable Adi Xia (982- 1054) was the abbot of Nalanduo Temple and Chaoyan Temple in India, and he was proficient in five civilizations (painting belongs to one of the five civilizations), Nietang Temple in Tibet has preserved two precious Thangkas of the venerable Adi Xia: one is his portrait, and the other is the statue of the Great Wade King Kong.

The founder of the Yellow Sect can be said to have completely inherited the dharma flow of the venerable Adixia. Inheriting its teaching methods and emphasizing the precepts of monks; Not only vigorously promote the five methods of teaching:

It was handed down from generation to generation by master Zong Kaba, from the 28th generation to Renboqing in Konsa, and from Konsa Lama to Nengshihai. Therefore, the teachings of the master at sea are the teachings of the same strain since Sakyamuni Buddha, and the dharma flow is extremely pure. It is the right view of Buddha, the right path of practice, the experience and the key!

Inherited the dharma flow of the old Lama in Konsa, and also inherited Thangka. Including Thangka and Thangka paintings of Kang Lao. For the need of spiritual practice, Master Nenghai often draws Thangka himself.

Thangka near Ci Temple comes down in one continuous line from Sakyamuni Buddha, and its paintings have been handed down from generation to generation, all of which are the living treasures of the guru. He is the founder of all previous dynasties and is regarded as a sacred object by the near-good monks. He is a treasure near Ci Temple.

Fourth, how does the maritime teacher teach Thangka

1, preach the old mage of King Kong Academy.

King Kong Court is the highest entrance near Jionji. A master who enters the King Kong Academy must study in a Buddhist temple for five years after becoming a monk and being ordained. Only by successfully completing the five-year study discipline can you be promoted to Jiaxing guild hall for practice and demonstration. This process must last for 10 years, that is, 10 years. 10 After the bank was added, Jingang College made great progress and was promoted to a master. A master can live in a small room in Mao Peng and accept an apprentice. You can be the first deacon in your class. The masters study and practice all day, which is very hard. The guru still teaches them to draw their own thangka to learn. The guru said that the process of painting is the process of repairing, which makes it easier to "view". The most outstanding Thangka painter in King Kong Academy is the one sitting on the throne. Although he was the last disciple of Fa Chuan, he painted Thangka seriously. He is from the northeast. Even in winter, he insists on drawing Thangka every day. He is a tattoo artist, so he painted countless Manjusri Bodhisattvas. In addition, he painted Vishnu and others. Except to sit down. Master Kong painted well, too.

2. Misha Concert Hall preach Misha

In the jungle of China, the entrance to Misha Hall is the only entrance near Jionji. 1942 newly-built independent hospital, covering an area of 48 mu. It is the cradle of the mage who inherits the guru's dharma and seal. The first master of the Tang Dynasty was a venerable monk who died recently at the age of 1000. The second is the guru of the Qing Dynasty, a famous Taoist priest. The third is a beginner and supervisor. He is also a saint of the integration of three studies. Its managers are also carefully selected. The teacher in charge of the hall is like the teacher of the Buddhist College today, and the teacher in charge of the hall is like the dean of the Buddhist College. At that time, the author was a novice monk in class three. Besides learning the precepts, etiquette, Tibetan language and classical literature of Shamanism, learning to draw Thangka is also my favorite course.

Misha painted Thangka with many talents, the best of which are Misha Quanguo, Changle, Yongze and Cheng Lang. Chongxi is also in Class A. He draws well and looks like a general. You can study hard with the encouragement of an ocean teacher, and make achievements in Buddhism like Wei Chigong's son and nephew peeping at Master Ji. Zhao Min, a novice monk from two classes, also paints very well.

This painting is particularly good. At that time, Class B Misha was empty. He is a Shanghainese, and his father followed the tide of refugees into Sichuan during his stay in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression. He was appointed as a disciple of the attending teacher and often watched the teacher draw Thangka. He is deeply rooted, you can tell at a glance. What I saw and heard gradually entered the room. Hallows of Class C, Buddha's Truth, etc. followed closely.

3. Lama Rossan contributed a lot.

Lausanne Hall reaches the Gelug Lama of Tibetan Buddhism, with high nose, double eyes, big ears and bright eyes. Mongolian * * * and China people are the teachers of the Zhang family, the master of the living Buddha, and the manager of the housekeeper. Master Nenghai invited the Zhang Family Living Buddha and the Zhang Family Living Buddha to give up their love and hired them to teach the Pilufa method in Jinci.

The old Lama in Lausanne is a master of the Five Ming Dynasties and a successful man. After teaching Pilu rituals, he actively taught Misha to draw Thangka and write Tibetan. I often casually walk to the window of the novice monk and ask him to draw Thangka. If he is not satisfied with the painting, teach him by hand. Whether he is satisfied or not, he should give a silver dollar as encouragement. However, people who draw well win many prizes, while those who draw badly win even less. At that time, with the encouragement of the old Lama, the novice monk devoted himself to drawing Thangka. After liberation, the author was encouraged by the old Lama for a long time. When the old Lama is ill, he can fly back to Chengdu to see a doctor himself. Before and after the Lama's death, there were many auspicious signs. Although Shanghai, Chongqing, Wutai Mountain, etc. Without informing them, they arrived at Jinci Temple at the same time to attend the Lama's meeting because of their dream. The Lama was cremated and lit in the afternoon until tomorrow morning. Fire is colorful, the fire has not been extinguished, there are countless relics and colorful bones.

Fifth, the Jinci Thangka reappears its splendor.

The disaster of the Cultural Revolution made it impossible for us to see the paintings of Konsa Lama enshrined in the Buddha Sea Society, the abbot of the near-Ci Temple, and the precious Thangka handed down to the maritime master by his guru. I can't see the "Buddha Sea Society" above the Buddhist scriptures. Dedicated to the precious Thangka that can be obtained by the maritime division's two visits to Tibet for seeking dharma! I can't see the precious Thangka, the sixteen statues of Wade Hall, and the eight theorists of Zong Kaba Daxiong Hall. These thangkas are priceless from any angle! Fortunately, Dhaka's disciples, including Dhaka's disciples and the old monks of the former Misha Hall, are trying to draw Thangka for the Buddhist believers near Ci Temple. One of the representatives should be pushed empty! Tibetan name: Dongba Dongli, now Xu Jisheng. Since the implementation of the Party's religious policy, Xu Jisheng retired from his post and went to Sichuan, where he painted a large number of thangkas for Shijing Temple, alternative temples near Zhaojue Temple and Ci Temple, and Longju Temple in Guanghan, where he was able to post the precepts on the sea, attracting worldwide attention. Under his door, graduates of the Academy of Fine Arts and young laymen are all bending their heads to study. Xu Jisheng studies rigorously and recites constantly every day. There are not only students who draw Thangka, but also college students who come to listen. Its residence is the refined house of Master Shagamando (Class C Misha), and the monks and laymen of Wutai and Shijing Temple have stayed in Chengdu many times.

"At present, there are many people who draw Thangka. If it is reasonable, it is rare to paint Thangka as subtle as Li Dong, even in Tibet! " This is the comment of Lianbo Living Buddha, director of the Tibetan Buddhism Teaching Research Office of the Advanced Buddhist College of the Tibetan Language Department of China.

Xu Jisheng's Thangka is regarded as a treasure among Liu Fa disciples who know the sea, and there is an endless stream of painters. Every year, people spend huge sums of money to photocopy calendars and print single pages in Hong Kong and spread them around, so they can get a precious Thangka near Jionji, which has become the greatest hope of learning Buddhism today!
