About Our Thangka :
Shakyamuni Buddha is depicted in this fine quality hand-painted buddhist thangka together with the two main disciples as it appears in the most classical representations. Buddha is seated in vajra posture (also known as lotus position) on a white moon disc and lotus.
In this image Buddha is depicted on earth touching Mudra which recalls the moment of Buddha’s enlightenment day when he touches the earth to witness his profound realization.
Introduction To Shakyamuni Buddha :
Shakymuni Buddha was born Siddhartha Gautama, the only son of a king from Nepal. At the age of 29, he renounced the luxury of his royal heritage to take up the life of a religious wanderer. At the age of 35, after gaining profound insight into the true nature of reality (Dharma), he attained complete enlightenment.
This means that he actualized all positive potentials of a sentient being and rid himself of all negative qualities. With this, he realized the true nature of existence and suffering (emptiness), and how suffering can be ended. Buddha continued to teach during his life, until passing away at the age of 81.

What did Buddha teach about life?
Buddhists believe that human life is a cycle of suffering and rebirth, but that if one achieves a state of enlightenment (nirvana), it is possible to escape this cycle forever.
