EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing painting on silk titled "Life of Buddha Sakymuni, the Armies of Mara Attacking the Blessed". Created by the Tibetan School in the 18th century, this masterpiece is housed at Musee Guimet in Paris, France. The artwork depicts a pivotal moment in Buddhist mythology when demons are sent by Mara to destroy Buddha. In this scene, we witness Buddha Sakymuni seated in deep meditation amidst chaos and turmoil. The armies of Mara relentlessly attack him with their menacing presence and evil intentions. Yet, despite the overwhelming assault, Buddha remains undisturbed and serene as he continues his meditative state. The vibrant colors and intricate details of this painting on silk transport us into a realm where good battles against evil. It serves as a powerful reminder that even in times of adversity and darkness, inner peace can be found through spiritual practice. As we gaze upon this extraordinary artwork, we are reminded of Buddhism's core teachings: to overcome desires and attachments while cultivating compassion for all beings. This timeless piece not only captures an important episode from Buddha's life but also invites us to reflect on our own journey towards enlightenment. Through its rich symbolism and artistic brilliance, "Life of Buddha Sakymuni" offers viewers an opportunity for introspection and contemplation. It stands as a testament to the enduring power of art to inspire faith, resilience, and transcendence across cultures and generations.
