Thangka Shakyamuni Buddha
Thangka "Shakyamuni Buddha" by Tibetan Buddhist Art. A thangka is a Tibetan Buddhist scroll painting. This thangka is a reproduction on canvas of the original thangka painted by Carmen Mensink. This high-quality reproduction is sewn in Nepal in brocade fabrics. This is done in a traditional way, including the 'curtain' to protect the thangka when it is transported, and ties and ribbons to hang it up.
Shakyamuni Buddha is The Buddha. With the thangka you get a card with the mantra of Shakyamuni Buddha on the front and the following English text on the back:
The Buddha (Shakyamuni Buddha) - The Awakened One. We often refer to Buddha Shakyamuni (his official name) as simply 'The Buddha'. He is the historical founder of the Buddhism of our time. Around 2500 years ago this figure was born as a prince called Siddhartha Gautama. He reached the enlightened state at age 35 and thereafter was called 'Buddha', meaning the Awakened One or Enlightened One.
After he reached this highest state of consciousness he started traveling through northern India, to offer his insights and teachings to a diverse range of people, and he did so for the remaining 45 years of his life until he died at age 80. The community of Buddhist monks and nuns (Sangha) that followed in the Buddha's footsteps, helped pass on the Dharma teachings after he died. That is why so many centuries later we are still inspired by his wonderful teachings.
The dimensions of the thangka are: top 38.5 cm, bottom 45 cm and length 62 cm. The reproduction is approximately 20.5 cm x 28 cm.
