☛ Depicting the Life of Buddha
This exquisitely hand-painted Buddha Life Story Thangka narrates the sacred journey of Gautama Buddha, from his miraculous birth in Lumbini to his path of enlightenment and ultimate teaching of Dharma. Each visual element in the thangka illustrates pivotal moments in his spiritual evolution—from prince to “Sakyamuni”, the awakened sage of the Sakyas. These depictions not only offer aesthetic beauty but also serve as profound teachings of compassion, mindfulness, and liberation.
☛ Thangka as Sacred Art
A thangka (also spelled tangka, thanka, or tanka) is a traditional Tibetan Buddhist painting created with meticulous detail on cotton or silk. Rich in symbolism, thangkas often portray Buddhas, deities, mandalas, and spiritual narratives, and are used as tools for meditation, rituals, and devotion. Typically rolled like scrolls for storage, they are mounted on brocade and protected with a silk veil to preserve their delicate craftsmanship.
To ensure the artwork’s longevity, it should be kept in a dry, shaded environment, safeguarding the vivid mineral pigments and the natural canvas.
