Bhagvana Shakyamuni Buddha’s life’s pictorial Depiction

About Our Thangka :

This beautiful medium large sized Thangka painting of Shakyamuni Buddha’s life events was completed in early January 2015 by a senior artist Mr.Gyalsang Lama. Mr.Gyalsang learnt to paint Thangka from an early age and gradually specialized in painting fine art Japanese style thangka paintings.

This Buddha life story is one of the few thangka paintings he has completed adopting the techniques of fine art Japanese style mutated with traditional Tibetan Menri style. The use of nude shades of colors which is very much prominent in traditional Japanese fine art style has been blended perfectly in contrast to the traditional bright use of colors in Tibetan style of traditional paintings.

The rich saturated hues of brown, yellow, white, blue and red is finished with an ombre’ technique. The rich use of 24 karat gold especially in the robes of the Buddha and his attendants adds a glorious radiating feature to this elegant art piece.

This thangka painting as it’s name suggests depicts the life story of Buddha.

Introduction To Bhagvana Shakyamuni Buddha :

Buddha’s life can be categorized into 12 segments namely. 1. Conception 2. Birth 3. Education 4. Life in the Royal palace 5. The Great departure 6. Escape 7. Austerities 8 . Enlightenment 9 . The subjugation of Mara(Lord of temptation) 10. Doctrine 11. Miracles 12. Paranirvana .

On the top left part of the painting , Queen Maya Devi ( Buddha’s mother ) is lying on her bed having a dream in which a white elephant is seen descending from Tushita heaven , which eventually enters her womb (Here the white elephant represents Buddha himself.

It is believed that after this incident took place , Queen Maya Devi gave birth to Buddha while wondering in the forest of Lumbini with the palace helpers. She gave birth to Buddha standing in the Salbhanjika posture holding a branch of Plaksa tree. This scene is depicted on the centre left part of this painting. Prince Siddharta Gautama was born some 2,500 years ago as a prince in Lumbini in Nepal. At his birth, many special signs had appeared. His father had asked a sage living in his kingdom for advice on his son. The sage predicted that Gautama would become either a great King or a great spiritual teacher.

    I received the thangka very quickly in beautiful condition. It was very carefully wrapped in multiple protective layers, many thanks to Enlightenment Thangka for their care. The thangka itself is beautifully done, printed on canvas with meticulous attention to detail. Very much looking forward to getting it framed and on the wall!

    I had a wonderful experience buying a Thangka from Enlightenment Thangka. The quality of their products is top-notch, delivery was quick, the staff were very friendly, and the packaging was excellent. I highly recommend them and am already looking forward to placing my next order.

    Such a beautiful thangka. It carries many blessings. The image itself is masterfully painted with great devotion. The brochade fabric quality is incredibly high and it is sewn with great skill and care. The thangka on the left was also purchased from “Enlightenment Thangka” a couple of years ago and it is also of this same high quality as the Guru Rinpoche in the right. I cannot recommend these people enough. Beautiful devoted work.

    Is a long waiting lesson I’ve been looking forward. For someone totally new, this is really an amazing experience to explore your hidden talent in Thangka drawing. I’m grateful the Enlightenment Thangka team’s great coordination to make this happened, the Thangka master, Nyam la that patiently guided me through my journey. He was very patience to explain every single line during the lesson, he puts things in a very simple way, never rush on me. Yet, he spent time to looking into my drawing upon my submission. He also sending back his feedback in details to further guiding me to perfect the drawing line.

    The master and team encouragements truly keeping my momentum to perfecting my drawing. This amazing journey had let me experiencing my inner peace, the hidden talent I’ve never knew, part of my spiritual journey. I will definitely will keep continuing my journey with them in future to fulfill my dream.

    Sharing my in progress Thangka artwork. ཐུགས་རྗེ་ཆེ། 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

    Very nice and warm shopping experience. The statue is firmly packed and protected during transport. Looking forward to my next order!

    Although Tangton Gyalpo is a major Lama, it is not easy to find tankhas depicting him. This one is just perfect.

    Excellent service and beautiful products!

    Excellent service and beautiful products!

    Magnifique Thangka ! Un excellent support pour ma pratique, cette thangka est très inspirante. Les dimensions impressionnante 2,40m x 1,60 donnent beaucoup force à l'ensemble !
    Service client au top et livraison super rapide ! Merci !

    It arrived today and exceeded all expectations. It's perfect!

    Quality brocade. Intricate design and mounted well. This silk weave has the heavier, sturdier, “rougher” feel to it than its smoother, shinier sibling.

    Personally, this experience has been a memorable one as I've got to learn from an actual thangka master and teacher himself. The entire three day experience has been nothing short of mesmerizing and sacred. If your intuition is calling you to pursue this, please do not pass off this special opportunity to learn from the one of the sources of authentic thangka painting for this experience is a heartwarming one.

    Amazingly beautiful brocade!

    very beautiful and made of quality material.

    Beautiful thangka...you did a good job, you have to see it to believe it.
    The delicate lines, the refreshing colors are just incredible. A thangka that represents us corresponds to the name of the refuge that a very GREAT master gave us

    Amizing
