☛ About Shakyamuni Buddha
Gautama Buddha, also known as Shakyamuni (“Sage of the Shakyas”), is the founder of Buddhism and a symbol of awakened consciousness. Born in Lumbini around 563 BCE, he renounced royal life in pursuit of spiritual truth. After years of ascetic practice and deep meditation, he attained enlightenment under the Bodhi tree. His teachings on the Four Noble Truths and the Eightfold Path provide a profound blueprint for overcoming suffering and achieving Nirvana.
☛ Introduction to Thangka
A thangka is a traditional Tibetan scroll painting rendered on cotton canvas or silk, using vibrant mineral pigments. These sacred works depict Buddhist deities, spiritual concepts, and mandalas, playing a crucial role in both worship and meditation practices. Thangkas are typically unframed, rolled for safekeeping, and adorned with silk brocade for ceremonial display. Their preservation requires a dry and clean environment to ensure lasting vibrancy and detail.
