Buddha Shakyamuni Thangka is depicted seated in the lotus position, a symbol of peace and enlightenment, atop a lotus throne. His right hand is in the earth-touching mudra, symbolizing the moment of his enlightenment under the Bodhi tree, when he called upon the earth as his witness to vanquish the forces of Mara, the lord of illusion. His left hand rests in his lap, holding a bowl, representing renunciation and the life of simplicity and meditation that leads to liberation from suffering.
“All the elements of a Tibetan religious painting have a symbolic value. These symbols serve as aids to developing inner qualities on the spiritual path. The deities themselves are regarded as representing particular characteristics of enlightenment. For example, Manjushri embodies wisdom, and Avalokiteshvara (Chenrezig) embodies compassion. Paying respect to such deities, therefore, has the effect of paying respect to wisdom and compassion, which in turn functions as an inspiration to acquire those qualities within ourselves.” - Dalai Lama from “The Mystical Arts of Tibet”
