Original Hand Painted Shakyamuni Buddha Thangka With Dipankar Buddha & Maitreya Buddha:
The Original Hand-Painted Shakyamuni Buddha Thangka beautifully portrays the enlightened figure of Shakyamuni Buddha, the historical Buddha who attained enlightenment under the Bodhi tree over 2,500 years ago. Shakyamuni Buddha is depicted in the center of the Thangka, seated in the earth-touching gesture (bhumisparsha mudra), symbolizing his moment of enlightenment. His serene countenance and gentle demeanor exude tranquility and wisdom, inviting viewers to contemplate the teachings of compassion and enlightenment.
Flanking Shakyamuni Buddha on the left and right bottom corners of the Thangka are the revered figures of Dipankar Buddha and Maitreya Buddha. These divine beings represent important aspects of Buddhist cosmology and the lineage of enlightenment. Dipankar Buddha is traditionally regarded as a past Buddha who preceded Shakyamuni, illuminating the path to enlightenment for countless beings. Maitreya Buddha, on the other hand, is considered a future Buddha who will appear in the world when the teachings of Shakyamuni Buddha have been forgotten, ushering in a new era of enlightenment.
The choice to include Dipankar Buddha and Maitreya Buddha alongside Shakyamuni Buddha in the Thangka symbolizes the continuity of the Buddha's teachings across time and space, from past to future. It underscores the universal nature of enlightenment and the eternal presence of the Buddha's compassionate guidance.
The Thangka itself is predominantly rendered in black and gold, with the Buddha's body depicted in a striking yellow hue against the dark background. This color scheme creates a captivating visual contrast, drawing the viewer's attention to the radiant presence of the enlightened figure amidst the darkness. The abundant use of gold further enhances the Thangka's aesthetic appeal, adding a touch of elegance and divine splendor to the artwork.
The Shakyamuni Buddha Thangka serves as a powerful visual representation of Buddhist teachings and principles, inviting viewers to connect with the timeless wisdom and compassion of the Buddha and his enlightened lineage.
The Thangka's vibrant colors, intricate details, and harmonious design create a captivating visual experience.
