☛ Who is Shakyamuni Buddha?
Shakyamuni Buddha, born Siddhartha Gautama around 563 BCE in Lumbini, Nepal, is revered as the historical Buddha. His teachings focused on overcoming desire, ego, and material attachments—the root causes of human suffering. His enlightened path emphasizes compassion, mindfulness, and liberation, forming the foundation of all Buddhist traditions. Representing profound awareness, Shakyamuni Buddha’s image is a reminder to seek inner truth and universal compassion.
☛ The Mandala in Buddhist Art
Mandalas are symbolic diagrams that represent the universe and the enlightened mind. In Tibetan Buddhism, they serve both ritual and meditational purposes. Each element of the mandala reflects cosmic order, spiritual purity, and sacred geometry, guiding practitioners toward self-realization and mindfulness. These thangkas are powerful tools for those on a spiritual path, enabling deeper focus and insight during meditation.
☛ What is a Thangka?
A Thangka is a traditional Tibetan Buddhist painting rendered on cotton or silk. These artworks are often used for teaching, meditation, and ceremonial display. Thangkas are usually kept unframed and rolled like scrolls, and are mounted with fabric borders and a protective silk veil. To preserve their vividness, they should be stored in dry, cool conditions and away from direct sunlight.
