19 Inches Traditional Buddha Shakyamuni | Gautama Buddha on Red Canvas
Traditional Buddha Shakyamuni Thangkas are powerful, symbolic artworks in Tibetan Buddhism. They depict the historical Buddha Siddhartha Gautama in a moment of spiritual significance. The deep red background of the thangka is linked to the fire element, symbolizing the power of wisdom and passion that can lead to spiritual awakening. The vibrant red color contrasts with the peaceful golden tones of the Buddha's skin and the intricate patterns of his robes. Gold accents highlight the divine nature of Shakyamuni Buddha and his enlightened state. The red background also represents the energy and warmth of the Buddha's teachings, which can burn away ignorance and suffering.
In this thangka, he is shown in a classic lotus pose, with his right hand touching the earth in the "Bhumisparsha Mudra." It symbolizes his victory over Mara and his call for the world to witness his understanding of the ultimate truth. His left hand rests in his lap, holding a begging bowl, representing his rejection of worldly desires and life as a wandering monk. It is a visual representation of the Buddha's life and teachings, evoking reverence and devotion and creating a sacred atmosphere for spiritual practice.
