A Radiant Vision of Enlightenment, Standing Historical Buddha Shakyamuni | Symbolizing the Journey of Wisdom, Compassion, and Spiritual Awakening
Behold the timeless grace of the Standing Historical Buddha Shakyamuni, captured in a mesmerizing blend of natural Lhasa stone colors and radiant 24K gold. This exquisite thangka is not merely an artwork but a spiritual gateway to the Buddha’s enlightened state, meticulously hand-painted on premium cotton canvas in the traditional Karma Gadri style. Every brushstroke brings the Buddha's serene presence to life, with luminous gold enhancing his divine qualities and natural stone hues evoking a deep sense of peace and harmony.
Shakyamuni Buddha, born as Siddhartha Gautama approximately in the 5th to 6th century BCE in ancient Nepal, was a prince who renounced his royal life in pursuit of the path to end human suffering. His quest culminated in achieving enlightenment beneath the Bodhi tree, where he discovered the Four Noble Truths and the Eightfold Path—the fundamental doctrines that underpin Buddhism. Siddhartha’s transformation from a life of luxury to one of spiritual discipline, coupled with his profound realization of nirvana—the liberation from suffering—distinguishes him as a revered figure of wisdom and compassion. His teachings have been disseminated worldwide, guiding numerous individuals toward inner peace and enlightenment and transcending the cycle of birth, death, and rebirth.
This thangka depicts Shakyamuni Buddha in a majestic and dignified posture, with his right hand in the bhumisparsha mudra, symbolizing his enlightenment as he touches the earth. His left hand, raised in the teaching mudra, signifies his wisdom and compassionate guidance. The background features a serene landscape, representing the peace and liberation attained through adherence to the Buddha’s teachings. Surrounded by the tranquility of nature, his golden robes and radiant presence convey a divine image, encouraging reflection and meditation. The thangka painting, intrinsically connected with Tibetan Buddhist tradition, functions both as an artistic masterpiece and a potent instrument for spiritual practice, providing a visual depiction of the Buddha’s enduring message of enlightenment.
