An absolutely phenomenal thangka: among the highest quality thangkas I've been blessed to acquire. The quality of the painting is truly stunning, and the brocade is also of the highest order. A joy to receive! The seller is also very kind, attentive, and helpful. All around a pleasure to support this shop, and I look forward to purchasing from them again in the future!

Shakyamuni Buddha:
The founder of Buddhism was Shakyamuni Buddha, also referred to as Gautama Buddha. He was a prince growing up and was born in Lumbini, Nepal, around the sixth century BCE. He gave up his fortune, though, and started searching for enlightenment at 29.
Under the Bodhi tree in Bodhgaya, India, the Buddha attained enlightenment after years of meditation and introspection. After that, he traveled and shared his knowledge of the way to enlightenment with others for the remainder of his life.
The Four Noble Truths and the Eightfold Path, which offer a framework for living a virtuous and satisfying life, were highlighted in Buddha's teachings.
