Shakyamuni Budda's Life Story
Introduction To The Thangka :
To help the fortunate creatures find escape from the cycle of life, Sakyamuni Buddha came to this earth. He did this by illuminating the way. In order to reach the highest level of enlightenment, he engaged in a variety of Bodhisattva practices. Until the end of his life, he traveled and taught so that all sentient creatures may benefit.
The Prajnaparamita is Lord Buddha's main teaching, and it comprises the two main religious doctrines of Prajna (knowledge) and Upaya (method). He thoroughly describes emptiness in this sutra, emphasizing that realizing emptiness is the perfect remedy to both self-deception and the things that are the source of cyclic existence. The several steps on the path to Buddhahood, the ultimate objective of sentient beings, are indirectly described in this Stra in a similar manner. It signifies that in order to become enlightened, one must exercise both knowledge and technique.
