The Shakyamuni Buddha Thangka | Seated In Meditation

Buddha Shakyamuni Thangka Seated In Meditation Buddha Shakyamuni is seated in meditation in this thangka which is drawn in traditional Karma Gadri Style. Beneath the beautiful tree, he sits atop a moon disc lotus seat with a calm and serene expression. The light blue halo is illuminating his face. His left-hand carries a bowl while his right hand is in an earth-touching mudra.   Shakyamuni Buddha is the historical Buddha, the originator of Buddhist philosophy, and is commonly referred to as "the Buddha." In the Buddhist religion, each "Kalpa" (a Buddhist eon) is considered to have its own Buddha, whose teachings gradually fade until the next Buddha arrives. He is believed to have lived around 420 BC and spent most of his time preaching the teachings of Dharma. The Life of Buddha Thangka depicts his life in detail. He is regarded as a role model, mentor, and inspiration. The "dharma," or spiritual belief, and the "sanga," or Buddhist community, are said to secure his presence on Earth.
