Shakyamuni Buddha (Shakya Tubpa), Tibetan Thangka Painting by Dorje Taktzak (Taeger Collection)

(Thangka detail)
The historical
Gautama Buddha
in monks robe,
holding a bowl with
nectar (the essence of
life and immortality:
a radiant white liquid)
and symbolically
touching the earth
with his right hand
as a witness for
his enlightenment,
which he reached under
a Bodhi-tree in Bodh
Gaya 2300 years ago.
The picture shows
the moment of
Enlightment in which
Shakyamuni has a
radiant golden rainbow
body, a blue body aura
of peace and magical
perfection and the
green head aura of
highest awareness.
