This splendid and rare painting depicts Shakyamuni Buddha at the attainment of his enlightenment. It represents the Tibetan vision of the Buddha’s experience of enlightenment as the consumption of a long process of spiritual and physical evolution. Here Shakyamuni makes the bhumisparsha-mudra as figures representing the onslaught of Mara’s evil forces appear around him.
