Original Hand-painted Master Quality Buddha Life Mandala Wheel of Life /Time Tibetan Thangka Painting
This beautiful Tibetan Thangka painting depicts the life of Siddhartha Gautama, the historical Buddha who lived in Lumbini, Nepal, between 563 BC and 483 BC.
The top left of the Thangka Painting depicts Queen Maya Devi's dream of a white elephant touching her right side with its trunk. This symbolizes purity and immaculacy, and the painting vividly brings it to life, showing Queen Maya giving birth to Buddha in the serene gardens of Lumbini, Nepal.
The painting moves towards the lower left, gracefully depicting Prince Siddhartha's encounter with the harsh realities of human existence. He left his luxurious palace and witnessed poverty, illness, aging, and death, which compelled him to seek answers beyond the boundaries of royal luxury.
In the upper middle right, the Thangka Painting captures the pivotal moment when Prince Siddhartha transforms into a monk, leaving the palace under the cloak of night, cutting his hair, and embarking on a profound journey of self-discovery under the guidance of different guru teachers.
The right center of the painting illustrates the six years of asceticism practiced by Buddha, depicting the extreme measures that led to near-death experiences for him and his companions. Realizing the futility of such extremes, the Thangka Painting 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 Painting lies the symbol of Buddha's enlightenment, showing 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 peaceful passing at 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 with extraordinary mastery, the Thangka Painting showcases the artist's unwavering dedication to detail and nuanced storytelling. Natural colors, stone, gold Tibetan hide glue mixture, and water ensure the painting's enduring quality and beauty.
This Thangka Painting transcends the realm of mere art—it is a compelling visual narrative that invites viewers to delve into the spiritual odyssey of Buddha and reflect on the timeless teachings embedded in each eloquent scene. The oil varnishing process is a testament to the artist's commitment to safeguarding the painting's beauty and ensuring its enduring quality, making it an exquisite Thangka masterpiece.
