The thangka looks even more beautiful in person. The thangka arrived earlier than I expected and it was packaged very well. The seller answered all my questions promptly and kept me up to date with shipping details ect. I highly recommend buying from this seller and I look forward to purchasing paintings from them in the future. Thank you RitualThanka!

Maitreya Original Hand-Painted Buddhist Thangka:
Maitreya buddha~Maitreya the bodhisattva of loving kindness and the Buddha of the next future after the age of Shakyamuni Buddha. Maitreya is believed to currently reside in the Tushita Heaven and is typically depicted as having either a Peaceful Appearance (Bodhisattva) or Buddha Appearance.
Maitreya Buddha holds a lotus blossom in each hand. Each hand also had a Dharma Wheel and a ceremonial foundation. The Wheel of Dharma and the ritual vase are being shown on the top of the lotus flower.
Maitreya was born as one of a thousand sons of a great king in those lifetimes. This king wanted to know in what order his sons would become enlightened, so he put all of their names in a bowl, focused intently for seven days while doing numerous ceremonial offerings, and then pulled their names one by one from the bowl. The Buddha of that age, the Tathagata Limitless Knowledge, foretold that Maitreya would be the fifth Buddha of the present era, with Shakyamuni being the fourth.
