Vintage Shakyamuni Buddha Thangka:
About Our Thangka:
Shakyamuni Buddha, also known as Siddhartha Gautama, is regarded as the father of Buddhism and was a historical figure who lived in ancient India. He gave up his privileged existence as a member of a royal family in order to pursue spiritual truth and enlightenment. He achieved a profound awakening after years of diligent meditation and self-discovery, earning the title "Buddha," which is Sanskrit for "Enlightened One."
Shakyamuni Buddha is frequently depicted sitting in meditation, one hand on the earth (asking the earth to witness his enlightenment), and the other hand making a meditation or teaching gesture. He is portrayed as having a calm and forgiving demeanor, personifying wisdom, compassion, and inner serenity
