Hand-Painted Masterpiece Buddha Life Story - Large Oil-Varnished Tibetan Thangka Painting, Perfect for Grand Home/ Office/ Sacred Shrine

This awe-inspiring Tibetan Thangka Painting of Buddha's Life Story is not just a work of art; it is an Oil-Varnished masterpiece that intricately captures the profound life of Siddhartha Gautama, the historical Buddha, who graced the world with his presence from 563 BC to 483 BC. This oil-varnished Thangka Painting undergoes a meticulous process where a delicate layer of oil is carefully applied to enhance its durability and amplify the vibrancy of its colors. This thoughtful technique not only serves to protect the painting but also introduces a subtle sheen, elevating the overall visual experience. The oil varnishing process stands as a testament to the artisan's unwavering dedication to safeguarding the beauty and ensuring the enduring quality of this exquisite Thangka masterpiece.

The top left of the Thangka unveils the extraordinary and symbolic conception of Buddha, a tale rooted in legend where Queen Maya Devi dreams of a white elephant touching her right side with its trunk—a profound symbol of purity and immaculacy. The Thangka vividly brings to life this unique conception, depicting Queen Maya giving birth to Buddha in the serene gardens of Lumbini, Nepal.

Descending to the lower left, the Thangka gracefully portrays Prince Siddhartha's poignant encounter with the harsh realities of human existence. Leaving the opulence of the palace, he bears witness to poverty, illness, aging, and death, compelling him to seek answers beyond the confines of royal luxury.

In the upper middle right, the Thangka captures the pivotal moment when Prince Siddhartha, under the cloak of night, leaves the palace, cuts his hair, and transforms into a monk, embarking on a profound journey of self-discovery under the guidance of different guru teachers.

The right center unfolds the six years of asceticism practiced by Buddha, illustrating the extreme measures that led to near-death experiences for him and his companions. Realizing the futility of such extremes, the Thangka seamlessly transitions to the upper middle right, portraying Buddha's decision to follow the "middle way" and engage in transformative meditation under a sprawling tree.

At the heart of the Thangka lies the symbol of Buddha's enlightenment, depicting the relentless attack by Demon Mara—an embodiment of evil—attempting to obstruct Buddha's path to enlightenment. Undeterred, Buddha perseveres, and Mara's malicious attacks miraculously transform into blossoming flowers.

The bottom center serves as a poignant reminder of Buddha's teachings and, eventually, his peaceful passing at the age of 80. The scene of his departure, lying on his right side, signifies his transition into nirvana—the ultimate state of bliss and the cessation of the cycle of rebirth.

Crafted on a handmade cotton canvas with the meticulous use of natural colors, stone, gold Tibetan hide glue mixture, and water, this Thangka is a testament to the extraordinary mastery of the artist. The attention to detail and the nuanced storytelling make it a profound and visually striking representation of Buddha's transformative life.

Please note that the Thangka will be meticulously rolled and securely packed for transportation. The actual colors may exhibit slight variations due to light conditions and screen resolution. Orders are shipped with a tracking number, and any import duties or taxes are the responsibility of the buyer.

This Thangka transcends the realm of mere art—it serves as a compelling visual narrative, inviting viewers to delve into the spiritual odyssey of Buddha and reflect on the timeless teachings embedded in each eloquent scene.
