Gautama Shakyamuni Buddha Thangka
About our Thangka
Shakyamuni Buddha, also known as Siddhartha Gautama, founded Buddhism. Born into a royal family in ancient India, he renounced his princely life to seek enlightenment. After years of spiritual practice, he achieved enlightenment under a Bodhi tree and became the "Awakened One." His teachings on compassion, mindfulness, and suffering have profoundly influenced millions worldwide, leading them to inner peace and enlightenment.
This Shakyamuni Buddha Thangka shows Siddhartha Gautama's enlightened form. The painting shows Shakyamuni Buddha sitting on a lotus seat, exuding spiritual wisdom and compassion. His right hand touches the ground, signifying enlightenment, while his left hand rests in the dhyana mudra, representing intense concentration. This Shakyamuni Thangka encourages practitioners to meditate and devote themselves. As a focal point for meditation and prayer, the thangka encourages devotees to make efforts for enlightenment by embodying the everlasting teachings of compassion, wisdom, and preventing suffering.
