Shakyamuni Buddha – The Enlightened One
The term “Buddha” originates from the ancient Sanskrit word meaning “awakened” or “supreme awareness,” closely linked to “Bodhi,” denoting enlightenment.
Gautama Shakyamuni, born around 563 BCE in Lumbini, Nepal, is the historical Buddha and the founder of Buddhism. His teachings emphasize:
✔ The understanding of desire as the root cause of suffering
✔ The impermanence of material wealth and the importance of inner peace
✔ The practice of compassion to alleviate suffering in the world
Unlike materialistic ideals that prioritize status and possessions, Shakyamuni Buddha’s serene image symbolizes the pursuit of wisdom, mindfulness, and ultimate liberation.
Introduction to Thangka Art
A Thangka (Tangka, Thanka, or Tanka) is a revered Tibetan Buddhist painting, traditionally created on cotton canvas or silk appliqué. These sacred artworks depict:
✔ Buddhist deities, mandalas, and spiritual narratives
✔ Symbols and imagery that aid in meditation and visualization
Thangkas are unframed and rolled for storage, often mounted on fabric backings with protective silk covers. Proper storage in a dry environment is essential for their longevity.
This hand-painted Shakyamuni Buddha Thangka is a powerful meditation aid, perfect for practitioners, collectors, and spiritual seekers looking to deepen their connection with Buddhist wisdom.
