Introducing our Shakyamuni Buddha Thangka, a beautifully rendered picture of the Buddha's founder painted on premium cotton canvas. This gorgeous thangka enhances its spiritual and aesthetic value with the application of real 24K gold along with a palette of rich acrylic colors. In addition to adding a luminous touch, the gold represents Shakyamuni Buddha's enlightenment and purity.
Shakyamuni Buddha is shown in the thangka in a traditional stance, representing peace and wisdom. The depiction is given depth and vitality by the deliberate blending of acrylic colors, and the sacred elements of the picture are emphasized by the 24K gold detailing. From the elaborate background patterns to the calm Buddha's expression, every element of the painting has been painstakingly and meticulously created.
Introduction to Buddha Shakyamuni Thanka
Shakyamuni Buddha is the founder of the Buddhist religion. To find the causes of suffering and the means to overcome it, being a crown prince of his Shakya kingdom, he left his luxurious life. After about six years of study, self-deprivation, and deep meditation he finally realized his goal and became an enlightened one (a Buddha). It is believed he has walked to a deer park in Sarnath (Benares) on the outskirts of Varanasi in India. There he gave his first sermon, an event which is called the turning of the wheel of Buddhist law (Dharmacakra). The wheel as a metaphor for Buddha’s teaching will become a prevalent symbol in Buddhist art.
