☛ The Life of Buddha: A Sacred Journey
This exquisite thangka narrates the life story of Gautama Buddha, capturing his journey from royal birth to ultimate enlightenment. Born in Lumbini to King Sudhodana of the Sakya Kingdom, Siddhartha Gautama renounced his royal privileges to seek a path beyond worldly suffering. His profound quest led to the awakening that founded Buddhism, offering humanity a timeless path toward liberation and peace. The painting gracefully illustrates key moments from his life as a bodhisattva, culminating in the realization of Nirvana.
☛ About Gautama Buddha
Gautama Buddha, also known as Sakyamuni (“Sage of the Sakyas”), is venerated as the Enlightened One who rediscovered the ancient path to end suffering. His teachings on the Four Noble Truths and the Eightfold Path guide followers to transcend desire, attachment, and ignorance. Through nearly half a century of teaching, he built a vast community dedicated to compassion, mindfulness, and spiritual freedom.
☛ Introduction to Thangka Art
A thangka is a sacred Tibetan Buddhist scroll painting, crafted with devotion on cotton canvas or silk using natural mineral pigments. Rich in symbolism and narrative detail, thangkas serve as meditation tools, teaching aids, and spiritual offerings. Traditionally unframed and rolled, they are mounted on textile backings with a protective silk veil. When preserved in a dry environment, thangkas retain their vibrant colors and sacred integrity for generations.
