About 5 Buddhas:

Amitabha Buddha

Amitabha Buddha, often referred to as the Buddha of Infinite Light, is a central figure in Tibetan Buddhism. In Thangka paintings from Nepal, Amitabha is typically depicted in a serene meditative pose, radiating compassion and wisdom. He is believed to reside in the Pure Land, a paradise where beings can achieve enlightenment free from the suffering of samsara. Devotees meditate on Amitabha to cultivate inner peace and aspire to be reborn in his Pure Land.

Medicine Buddha

The Medicine Buddha, or Bhaisajyaguru, is revered in Tibetan Buddhism for his healing powers. Depicted in Thangka paintings with a deep blue body, he holds a healing herb in one hand and a bowl of medicinal nectar in the other. Originating from Nepalese artistic traditions, these images are used in meditation to invoke the Medicine Buddha’s blessings for physical and spiritual healing. His practice is particularly important for those seeking recovery from illness and the alleviation of suffering.

Shakyamuni Buddha

Shakyamuni Buddha, also known as Siddhartha Gautama, is the historical Buddha and the founder of Buddhism. Thangka paintings from Nepal often depict him seated in the earth-touching mudra, symbolizing his enlightenment under the Bodhi tree. His teachings form the foundation of Tibetan Buddhism, emphasizing the path to liberation through ethical conduct, meditation, and wisdom. Shakyamuni’s image in Thangka art serves as a reminder of his journey to enlightenment and his profound teachings.

Maitreya Buddha

Maitreya Buddha is the future Buddha who is prophesied to appear on Earth, achieve complete enlightenment, and teach the pure Dharma. In Tibetan Thangka paintings, Maitreya is often depicted seated on a throne, symbolizing his future role as a world teacher. Nepalese artists portray him with a serene expression, holding a lotus or a vase, representing purity and wisdom. Devotees meditate on Maitreya to cultivate loving-kindness and aspire to his future teachings.

Vairocana Buddha

Vairocana Buddha is regarded as the primordial Buddha, representing the embodiment of all the Buddhas. In Thangka paintings from Nepal, Vairocana is typically depicted in the dharmachakra mudra, symbolizing the turning of the wheel of Dharma. He occupies a central role in Tibetan Buddhist cosmology, representing the concept of Emptiness and the universal nature of Buddhahood. Meditating on Vairocana helps practitioners understand the profound nature of reality and achieve enlightenment.
