35 Buddhas Thangka Painting on Silver
The 35 Buddhas Thangka Painting on Silver is a breathtaking piece of sacred art that combines intricate artistry with profound spiritual significance. This Thangka is meticulously hand-painted on a silver base, which not only adds a unique metallic sheen to the artwork but also enhances the divine presence of the 35 Buddhas depicted. Each Buddha is rendered with exquisite detail, capturing their serene expressions, graceful postures, and the symbolic hand gestures, or mudras, that convey various aspects of their enlightened nature.
The 35 Buddhas are central to the practice of the Confession of Downfalls, a key component of Tibetan Buddhist practice. Each Buddha represents a specific aspect of purification, helping practitioners to cleanse negative karma and cultivate positive qualities on the path to enlightenment. The silver base of this Thangka adds a sense of purity and sacredness, symbolizing the clear and untainted nature of the enlightened mind. The use of silver also reflects light beautifully, giving the Thangka a radiant and ethereal quality that enhances meditation and contemplation.
In the composition of the Thangka, the Buddhas are arranged in a harmonious and symmetrical pattern, each one surrounded by intricate mandala-like designs. These mandalas serve as spiritual maps that guide the mind towards a deeper understanding of the Buddha’s teachings. The central Buddha, often representing Shakyamuni Buddha, the historical Buddha, is depicted larger and more prominently, symbolizing his role as the source of all teachings. Surrounding him are the 34 other Buddhas, each with their unique attributes and symbolic colors that represent various aspects of the Dharma.
