The Tibetan Thangka painting of the Buddha is a remarkable piece that exudes a profound sense of serenity and spirituality. This masterpiece was created approximately 50-70 years ago and featured intricate cotton brocade. However, time has caused the delicate brocade to disintegrate, leaving only a small section at the bottom, as depicted in the accompanying image.
The Thirty-Five Confession Buddhas, also known as "she lha so long" in Tibetan Buddhism, are featured in the Sutra of the Three Heaps (Triskandhadharmasutra), a significant Mahāyāna sutra that elucidates the purifying process through confession and prostrations to these Buddhas. This sutra, a part of the Ratnakutasutra, plays a crucial role in the confession process. In Tibet, two traditions of the Thirty-five Confession Buddhas were present, stemming from the Madhyamaka school founded by Nāgārjuna and the Yogācāra school founded by Asaṅa and Vasubandhu. Both schools developed rituals for bestowing the Bodhisattva vows, with a key element being the visualization of the Thirty-five Buddhas, which requires a high level of mental focus, and reciting the confession from the Triskhandhadharma Sutra.
This particular Thangka was sourced from a venerable monastery in Nepal and meticulously painted by devout monks on cotton canvas. Through the years, it has acquired a patina of imperfections, such as tears, discolorations, and heavy signs of wear. Far from detracting from its inherent beauty, these weathered traits enrich its spiritual significance.
Each brush stroke on this Thangka embodies its creators' emotional depth and devotion, who sought to distill profound spiritual concepts into a visually simple yet emotionally resonant form. This deliberate simplicity ensures that the artwork supports prayer and meditation rather than overwhelming these sacred practices.
Despite the inevitable signs of aging, such as cracks, fading, and damage to the canvas, this remarkable artwork holds a special place for collectors.
