☛ The Life of Buddha – A Visual Journey
This handmade Thangka of Buddha Life Story beautifully illustrates the key moments of Gautama Buddha’s life, from his royal birth in Lumbini to his enlightenment under the Bodhi tree and final Mahaparinirvana.
Gautama Buddha (563 – 483 BCE), born as Prince Siddhartha in Kapilavastu, present-day Nepal, renounced his royal life in search of truth and liberation. This Thangka captures the transformative episodes of his life:
✔ Birth in Lumbini
✔ The Four Encounters (Old age, Sickness, Death, Ascetic)
✔ Renunciation of royal life
✔ Meditation and enlightenment
✔ Teaching the Dharma
✔ Passing into Nirvana
The painting serves as a spiritual narrative, reminding practitioners of the Buddha’s path of compassion, wisdom, and self-realization.
☛ Use of Real Gold: Traditional Tibetan Art
The Buddha Life Story Thangka is exquisitely hand-painted using real gold dust, following ancient Tibetan Buddhist painting techniques. The gold is carefully ground, blended with natural materials, and painted onto the canvas, giving the Thangka an elegant, radiant finish that enhances its sacred significance.
