Shakyamuni Buddha Mandala
What is a Thangka painting?
The Tibetan word Thangka means an unfolding painting, where the word Thang stands for an unfolding scroll and Ka means a painting. Thangka paintings, as a whole, are a visual representation of Buddhist deities, scenes, or mandalas, painted on silk or cotton canvas.
Mandala of Shakyamuni Buddha
Buddha Shakyamuni appeared in this world to purify all beings by having them open the treasure of Buddha Wisdom, which they are unaware of possessing within themselves. His followers are known as Buddhists. The tradition of Buddhism is to mean an enlightened being, one who has awakened from the sleep of ignorance and achieved freedom from suffering.
A mandala is a tool for meditation or a contemplative object used to illustrate various aspects of Buddha’s teachings, meditative instruction, or the cosmological representation of the deity's pure microcosm (pure mandala).
The Mandala represents a symbolic Geometric Diagram in Tantric Buddhism, which visualizes the metaphysical interconnection between microcosm and the universe. Mandalas embody a vast store of Spiritual Energy.

How does Thangka benefit us?
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 removing 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.
