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.
Thanka is used for meditation practice as well as for mindfulness, as it is a spiritual art. One can either use it for meditation purpose or gifting to those who truly values it, especially to buddhist practitioners or art admirers. Cotton canvas, pure gold, acrylic colors etc colors are used. It is 100% handmade tibetan scroll painting which can be easily carried around if has to be taken for meditation or for buddhist practice purposes.
