Dragon Mantra Mandala Thangka

Displaying a dragon banner is believed to protect one from slander and enhances one's reputation. Dragons have been a part of the culture for at least 7,000 years. Dragons have long symbolized power, creativity, heaven, and windfall. They are thought to have authority over bodies of water, rain, floods, and storms. In time, Buddhist artists adopted the dragon as a symbol of enlightenment. Today dragons decorate roofs and gates of temples, both as guardians and to symbolize the dragon's power of clarity.
