☛ The Life of Buddha

This Thangka painting intricately portrays the life story of Gautama Buddha, tracing his journey from royal birth to enlightenment. Born around 563 BCE in Lumbini, on the border of present-day Nepal, Siddhartha Gautama was the son of King Śuddhodana of the Sakya clan. Having passed through countless existences as a bodhisattva, he entered this final incarnation to attain full enlightenment. His transformation from a prince to an ascetic, and ultimately to the Buddha (the Awakened One), is a profound spiritual narrative captured through rich symbolism and delicate brushwork.

☛ About the Buddha

Gautama Buddha is revered as the Enlightened One who discovered the path to liberation from duḥkha (suffering). Through deep meditation and insight, he uncovered the Four Noble Truths and the Eightfold Path, guiding countless beings toward Nirvana—the cessation of suffering. His teachings remain the foundation of Buddhism, influencing millions worldwide with their message of mindfulness, compassion, and inner peace.

☛ Introduction to Thangka

A thangka is a traditional Tibetan scroll painting, created with meticulous artistry on cotton canvas or silk using natural mineral pigments. These sacred artworks serve as both devotional images and meditative aids. Often rolled for storage and adorned with a brocade border and silk cover, thangkas are treasured not only for their spiritual significance but also for their durability and aesthetic beauty. Proper care in a dry, clean environment helps preserve their integrity for generations.
