What is, Buddha under Bodhi tree? Within the Buddhist faith, achieving enlightenment is human beings' ultimate goal. Buddhism teaches that life is suffering because human beings insist on remaining separate from a greater reality (called "Nirvana") and choose to live within the illusion that they are finite beings instead of one piece of a greater infinite reality.
Buddhism teaches that all distinctions between living things are illusions; human beings separate themselves into "me" and "you" and disconnect themselves from Nirvana, bringing humans total peace and happiness. The goal of Buddhism is to end suffering by teaching a person how to let go of these illusory distinctions between themselves and all other life.
Buddhism is unique in world traditions because it does not believe in individual human souls. Instead, it assumes that peace and joy in the afterlife come through accessing Nirvana, the life force from which all people originated and to which all people will return if they learn to reject the illusions of a finite self.
Achieving enlightenment comes through meditating, developing self-discipline, and exercising compassion for all life.
Siddhartha Gautama was the first to achieve enlightenment, an Indian prince born between 500 and 400 BCE. While historical sources do verify the existence of the Buddha, historians disagree on the exact time in which he lived.
Siddhartha, born a prince, was raised in a palace where knowledge of sickness, old age, and suffering was kept from him. His father, the king ordered servants to remove all elderly, sick, and suffering people from his son's presence - until one day, Siddhartha discovered an older man outside the palace. Siddhartha discovered disease, a dead body, and a Hindu monk as he explored the outside world in the following days. Realizing how little he understood about life, the young prince left the palace searching for wisdom. Siddhartha sought enlightenment after he realized his father had lied to him about the nature of life.

Preparing the Cotton canvas before starting to paint a Thangka. This process includes washing, drying, stretching, sizing and everything needed to make a perfect base for the thangka to last for centuries.
Thangka paintings are painted using natural minerals such as agate, gold, silver, cinnabar, saffron, ocher, rhubarb,lapis and many other minerals. To create the ideal pigment for painting, these materials are ground several times. This makes the materials even more durable and long-lasting. Thus, you can surely expect the color of the Thangka to withstand the test of time.
The gold in the ornaments and detailing is made from real gold dust.
