☛ About the Buddha
Gautama Buddha, widely known as the Buddha, is revered as the enlightened founder of Buddhism. Born in Lumbini in the 6th century BCE, he renounced his royal life to seek the end of suffering. His profound realization of the Four Noble Truths and the Eightfold Path gave rise to a spiritual tradition that has transformed lives for centuries. Through his 45 years of teaching, he guided both monastics and lay followers toward Nirvana, the liberation from the cycle of birth and rebirth (samsara), emphasizing the cessation of desire and the cultivation of compassion, mindfulness, and wisdom.
☛ Mandala Thangka: Sacred Geometry of the Mind
A mandala is more than just art—it is a cosmic diagram representing inner and outer universes. In this thangka, the Buddha sits at the heart of an intricate mandala, symbolizing spiritual awakening radiating from the center of consciousness. Crafted with mineral pigments on cotton canvas, this hand-painted piece reflects precision, patience, and deep meditative practice.
Mandala Thangkas are used in Buddhist practice to enhance focus, mindfulness, and the journey inward. Each layer of geometry carries symbolic meaning, reflecting balance, harmony, and the interconnected nature of existence.
☛ Introduction to Thangka
A thangka (also spelled tangka, thanka, or tanka) is a traditional Tibetan Buddhist scroll painting used in meditation and rituals. Painstakingly detailed and typically painted on cotton or silk, thangkas depict sacred subjects such as deities, narratives, and cosmological diagrams like mandalas. They are traditionally kept rolled when not displayed and mounted with silk to preserve their form. For longevity, store thangkas in a cool, dry environment, away from direct sunlight and moisture.
