Buddhist Bhavachakra Thangka | Wheel Of Life | Handpainted Buddhist Art

Description

Buddhist Bhavachakra Thangka

About Our Thangka :

Our thangka is a beautifully painted thangka portraying the Buddhist Bhavachakra. We painted it with 24 karat gold and colors derived from nature. The thangka depicts Yama, the God of Death, clutching the wheel that marks the gateway to the afterlife from these worlds of misery (nirvana).

Introduction To Bhavachakra :

The wheel is one of the most important symbols of Buddhist art and both representation of the teachings of the Buddha – Dharma and the endless circle of Samsara (rebirth).

The six rays of the wheel represents The Noble Eightfold Path showed by the Buddha and representation of wisdom.

The rim that holds the wheel together is decorated with traditional symbols and intricate decors. The rim symbolizes the importance of practice and meditation.

Yama, the Lord of Death, is the figure that is holding the wheel of life. According to the Vedas, he was the first man to pass away, paving the way for all subsequent people to experience mortality. He watches over the under-earth resting place for the deceased as the protector of the south (the area of death).

According to legend, Yama exists to defend Buddhism and Buddhists. He clutches the wheel of life in his hooves and stands for ephemerality and death. The Buddhist term for suffering is duhkha. Suffering, according to Buddhist philosophy, is the fundamental character of all existence. In order to symbolize the possibility of freedom, the Buddha is visible in each of the worlds.

Why should Thangka be kept away from water?

Since thangka rapidly rips when exposed to water, it becomes stained. Any liquid that splashes or runs down the front or back of the thangka, including water, can change the ground's color, cause lines to run, and shift the pigment.

    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

    Hi Neelam,
    Thank you for the email AND I apologize as the Thanka has not arrived yet! Looks like it is in Bahrain waiting to move or has already left Bahrain and is headed to SF. Will let you know when it is delivered!
    all blessings,

    Beautiful, high-quality print, at a modest price, free and fast delivery. Kind of perfect, overall. Thank you!
