Meditation and Yoga Art
About Our Thangka
The Full Gold Style Hand Painted Shakyamuni Buddha is a great work of art that beautifully and intricately portrays Shakyamuni Buddha, the founder of Buddhism. This painting's shiny and bright appearance is a result of the hand-painted gold leaf used in traditional methods to make it on silk.
The Buddha is seen in a reclining position, his eyes closed in meditation, with his right hand on his knee and his left hand holding a bowl for alms. His right hand is also shown to be holding a begging bowl in his lap. The artwork appears lifelike and motivating because of the extreme care and skill with which his attire, facial features, and posture were portrayed.

Introduction To The Thangka :
Gautam Buddha, also often referred to as Sakyumuni, was a spiritual teacher upon whose lessons the foundations for Buddhism were formed. He is regarded as the Supreme Buddha and is the first enlightened individual to be visualized. Despite some confusion from those who do not follow Buddhism, it is important to note that the Buddha was not considered to be a God. He was rather a mere human, like the rest of us, who was able to develop an extraordinary perception about existence. This perception helped him to rid his mind of the things that cause us all a level of suffering; craving, hatred, and delusion. This, in turn, helped him to attain levels of true peace and contentment – and remain free from the suffering of sentient beings.
How does Thangka benefit us?
It goes without saying that every detail of a painting has a symbolic meaning. Regardless of your religious affiliation, a thangka can help you on your path to enlightenment, whether you practice Buddhism or have other religious convictions. Thangkas are paintings that depict deities with various iconographic elements and symbolism that encourage meditation on the teachings of the god they depict. Any thangka is intended to aid in the removal of the film of ignorance, which is a significant barrier to the road to enlightenment. The Thangka is revered as a holy item. They promote positivity, spread Buddhism's teachings, bring about peace, harmony, and oneness, and dispel any negative energy that may be there.
