This is a magnificent piece of Buddha Shakyamuni thangka. Masterfully executed in rich, vibrant colors with illuminating detail; The silk brocade frame compliments the painting beautifully and forms a focal point in our praying/meditation room
I receive the piece earlier than expected in good shape; and prior to purchase, Rajendra was responding quickly and very helpful in providing high resolution picture for my further evaluation. Thank you Rajendra and surely I will be back again.

Monk Statue
About Our Statue :
The monk statue was beautifully made with an oxidized copper body and acrylic paint. He has a calm and serene look as he sits on a moon disc lotus seat.
Introduction To The Monk :
Instead, each image embodies the spirit of Buddha's teachings. As a result, these symbols have a soul or a spirit. In order to convey the spirit of the Buddha's teachings, the artists who build the sculptures must be spiritually linked.
The term "bhikku" comes from a verb that meaning "to beg." Therefore, practicing poverty and distancing oneself from the material world are the characteristics that best describe a Buddhist monk or nun. Bhikkus were initially the itinerant followers of the Buddha who abandoned their homes and jobs to devote their life to meditation and the application of the Buddha's teachings (6th century BC). Bhikkus often lived in groups in the forests near towns and villages; in exchange for food, the monks taught the villagers Buddhist morality (dhamma; Sanskrit: dharma). Buddhist accounts claim that the Buddha first only permitted men to become members of the sangha or community of monks, but subsequently permitted women to make vows as well.
How do take care of your statues?
• Place them at room temperature, avoiding direct sunlight.
• Make sure that the area where your statue is placed is completely free of moisture and dust.
• Place it at the highest place on your altar after being consecrated by Lama/monks. The best practice is to keep them covered inside a glass cabinet.
• Do not use your bare hands or any objects with a rough surface to wipe the face. Directly touching with the bare hand objects can smudge the face, leaving scratches.
