Buddha Shakyamuni Thangka. Tibet. 17th Century
A extraordinarily rare thangka of Buddha Shakyamuni. Tibet, 17th century
The Buddha seated in dhyanasana on a multicolored lotus, his right hand in bhumisparsa mudra and his left in dhyana mudra cradling a begging bowl, clad in saffron and red robes, his peaceful face with golden skin backed by a green halo surrounded by a throne of elephants, snow lions, and further animals, with two attendants flanking an offering table below and lamas floating above opaque pigments and gold on textile
Remounted in a simple and elegant lightly gilder white frame. Double contrast mounted and museum glass to protect the image. Framed dimension is 100cm tall x 77cm wide. I have attached a picture of another Thangka showing a clear view of the framing for reference (this Thangka is also currently for sale).
Thangka dimension is 68cm tall x 47 cm wide. Good condition commensurate with age. Given its age and use (prayer) the colour are muted.
Sera Monastery ("Wild Roses Monastery) is one of the "great three" Gelug university monasteries of Tibet, located 1.25 miles north of Lhasa. The other two are Ganden Monastery and Drepung Monastery. The origin of its name is attributed to a fact that during construction, the hill behind the monastery was covered with blooming wild roses (or "sera" in Tibetan).
The original Sera Monastery is responsible for some 19 hermitages, including four nunneries, which are all located in the foot hills north of Lhasa. The Sera Monastery, as a complex of structures with the Great Assembly Hall and three colleges, was founded in 1419 by Jamchen Chojey of Sakya Yeshe of Zel Gungtang (1355–1435), a disciple of Je Tsongkhapa. During the 1959 revolt in Lhasa, Sera monastery suffered severe damage, with its colleges destroyed and hundreds of monks killed. After the Dalai Lama took asylum in India, many of the monks of Sera who survived the attack moved to Bylakuppe in Mysore, India. After initial tribulations, they established a parallel Sera Monastery with Sera Me and Sera Je colleges and a Great Assembly Hall on similar lines to the original monastery, with help from the Government of India. There are now 3000 or more monks living in Sera, India and this community has also spread its missionary activities to several countries by establishing Dharma centres, propagating knowledge of Buddhism.
Sera Monastery in Tibet and its counterpart in Mysore, India are noted for their debate sessions.
