Shakyamuni Buddha Thangka – Double-Sided Laminated Portable Art

Shakyamuni Buddha – The Awakened One, Our Historical Buddha.
A sacred image that embodies the path of awakening, compassion, and the peace of enlightenment.

This high-detail portable thangka features Shakyamuni Buddha, the historical Buddha who attained enlightenment under the Bodhi tree and taught the path to liberation. He is depicted seated in vajra posture, his right hand touching the earth in the bhumisparsha mudra (earth-witness gesture), and his left hand resting in meditation holding a begging bowl—symbolizing his victory over Mara and his complete realization.

Printed on archival photo paper with double-sided protective lamination, this thangka offers two sacred images in one—front and back both protected and display-ready. The wipeable surface makes it easy to maintain, ideal for shrine use, meditation practice, or travel. At 13x18cm, it is compact enough to accompany you anywhere: on your desk, in your practice space, or beside you during retreat.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is Shakyamuni Buddha?

Shakyamuni Buddha (Siddhartha Gautama) was a prince who renounced worldly life, attained enlightenment under the Bodhi tree, and spent the rest of his life teaching the path to liberation. He is the historical founder of Buddhism and the source of all Buddhist traditions.

What do the hand gestures represent?

• Right hand: Earth-touching mudra (bhumisparsha) – calling the earth to witness his enlightenment and the defeat of Mara

• Left hand: Meditation mudra (dhyana) with begging bowl – representing equanimity and the renunciation of worldly desires

Does this thangka need to be consecrated?

You may have it blessed by a teacher if you wish. If not, placing it with a respectful attitude is sufficient. The image itself is a support for practice and inspiration.

How should I clean and care for it?

Wipe gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth. The double-sided lamination makes the surface wipeable—ideal for shrine environments where incense or oil residue may accumulate. Avoid abrasive cleaners and prolonged direct sunlight.

Can I place it in my car?

Yes. The 13×18 cm size can be placed on a dashboard (use a non-slip mat) or kept in a glove compartment. Avoid prolonged direct sunlight to preserve colors.

How should I display it?

Place it on a clean, elevated surface such as a desk, shrine, or bookshelf. Since it is double-sided, you may also display it in a clear acrylic stand to appreciate both sides.

Can I get a different size or deity?

Yes. We offer custom sizes and other Buddhist figures. Please contact us via email or WhatsApp with your request, and we will provide details and pricing.

Is the lamination removable?

No. The double-sided lamination is permanently sealed to protect the print. It adds durability and allows for easy cleaning.
