Shakyamuni Buddha, also known as Siddhartha Gautama, founded Buddhism and plays a crucial role in the spiritual lives of millions worldwide. Initially a prince, he abandoned his royal status to explore the truth behind human suffering. Through years of meditation and discipline, he achieved enlightenment beneath the Bodhi tree, earning the title of Buddha, the "Awakened One." His teachings center on the Four Noble Truths and the Eightfold Path, providing a pathway for followers to overcome suffering and reach Nirvana. As a spiritual guide, Shakyamuni Buddha is honored for his wisdom, compassion, and commitment to guiding others toward enlightenment.
In this thangka, Shakyamuni Buddha is depicted in a serene seated posture, symbolizing the peaceful and meditative state that led to his enlightenment. He is shown with his right hand in the Bhumisparsha Mudra (gesture of touching the earth), a symbolic gesture of his awakening and the moment he called upon the world to witness his enlightenment. His left hand holds an alms bowl. The Buddha’s serene expression and radiant aura highlight his inner peace and wisdom. The lotus seat beneath him represents purity and the spiritual path, while the use of 24K gold enhances the sacredness of the figure. A monk is depicted offering a lotus flower, symbolizing devotion and the recognition of Buddha's sacred presence. Side by him, a deer peacefully rests, symbolizing the tranquility of the Buddha's teachings and the harmony he embodies. With its intricate details and vibrant Lhasa stone colors, this thangka captures the divine presence of Shakyamuni Buddha, offering a deep sense of tranquility and inspiration.
