Shakyamuni Buddha by Mukti Singh Thapa 1000-Armed Size: 200 x 106 cmThis outstanding painting by master artist Mukti Singh Thapa is of Shakyamuni, the historical Buddha. Buddha means 'Enlightened One' and Shakyamuni is the founder of Buddhism. Born in Lumbini, Nepal, Shakyamuni spent most of his life in India where he gained enlightenment under a bodhi tree. He spent the remainder of his life traveling and teaching the Dharma. This piece displays Thapa's mastery of the Tibetan style through its rich color palette,
