About Garuda Thangka Art
In Buddhism, Garuda is a mythical bird-like creature with a wingspan said to be many miles wide. Known for bringing hurricane-force winds with the flap of its wings, Garuda is often depicted with a snake in its mouth, symbolizing its long-standing war with the nagas, the serpentine water spirits. Despite this, the Garuda became a symbol of refuge after the Buddha intervened to protect the nagas from Garuda's attack.
Garudas are common in Buddhist and folk art throughout Asia, with many statues of Garudas erected to protect temples. In Tibetan Buddhism, the Garuda is one of the Four Dignities, which are animals that represent the courageous attributes of a bodhisattva. Alongside the dragon (power), tiger (confidence), and snow lion (fearlessness), the Garuda represents wisdom.
