From August 16--19, 2012, six Tibetan Buddhist monks travelled to San Francisco from the Drepung Loseling Phukhang Monastery in South India to create a sand mandala for the Asian Art Museum. Over four days, they meticulously applied powdered pigments to a geometric mandala outline. The monks intend that the sand mandala will generate positive effects that radiate over the entire region. They believe that the mandala's presence will bless both the environment and the beings therein, thus making a Buddhist contribution to world peace. Once the sand mandala has been completed, this painstakingly created artwork was then destroyed and scattered. To do so spreads the sand mandala's benefits throughout the world. It is also a concrete lesson in the impermanence of all things, a key Buddhist ideal.

This video was taken of Drepung Loseling monks from Tibet while they were at a cultural exchange at Wingate University. A unique and exquisite artistic tradition is that of painting with colored sand. In the Tibetian language, this art form is called dul-tson-kyil-khor, which means "mandala of colored powders." A mandala is a circle, often enclosing a square, that symbolizes a mystical representation of the universe. The process begins when the monks draw the line design for the mandala they will create. Millions of grains of sand are painstakingly laid into place on a flat platform over a period of days. Hope you enjoy the video.

STORYLINE :
Sahasrasbhuja -avalokitesvara is a true Tibetan treasure.
The many handed goddess stands 77 centimetres high and has hundreds of tiny hands each individually crafted surrounding her figure.
The eyes on each palm symbolises her ability to see everything.
Lee Yu - Min, the exhibition's curator says that the museum is delighted to the Buddha goddess in their collection.
"All these kinds of details are very hard to make, particularly so many layers of the hands. It's very difficult work and the craftsman can make it so good and we are very happy to have it here"
Another rare piece is the 11th century bronze statue of Maitreya, the future reborn of Lord Buddha.
Made from gilt bronze with turquoise, silver and copper inlay, pigments and gold paint, Maitreya has a distinctive Indian design, curved shape of the body, and the feminine facial line.
The artwork reflects the cultural interchange between India and Tibet.
"So we know this piece is made in India but is made for Tibetan monk or Monastery or it is also possible that it was made by India artist in Tibet" says Lee Yu-Min.
Over a hundred pieces of Tibetan arts are on exhibition here, some of which had rarely left their homes in the
Monastery and Palaces of Tibet.

The Traditional Implemented; Transcending boundaries
( 2014; mixed media, colored sand, oil on denim jeans; 71,4” x 109” / 181 x 277 cm)
Centered is a mandala of compassion, but in the middle sits Amitayus instead of Avaloketeshvara. Amitayus (Tse-pameh in Tibetan) is considered the samboghakaya form of Amitabha and reflects infinite life. Since 2011 the Dalai Lama, as a reincarnation form of Avaloketeshera, shares his responsibilities. He carried on being the Spiritual leader of his people in the world, but he stopped his governmental-political duties trying to deepen the authority of the movement’s democratic government, which is based in Dharamsala, by a chosen prime minister. It has to benefit the Tibetans in the long run.
A constructed mandala is a celestial residence of a meditation deity and every aspect of it has a deep meaning. The doorways on all four directions represent the Four Immeasurable Thoughts: love, compassion, joy and equanimity. The mandala also represents the universe, which is dependent on the exact ratio of the four elements (fire, water, earth and air). E.g. too much fire burns, too less makes it cold and the right amount makes growing and flowering possible. This is both taught in Buddhism as well as in the western science education.
We, human beings, do not understand everything in our world. The clouds present us a veil behind which many ‘secrets’ are hidden. In fact, they are not tangible with our senses, but they may reveal through meditation and development of a higher Buddhist nature. An optimal society as the mythical Shambala (a fourth dimension?) is therefore also represented in this mandala.

Tankha Arts, Indo Tibetan Buddhism - The Buddhist Path to Liberation... Video arranged and done by Facundo Soares Gache...
By the captivating sound in a Puja ceremony perform by the Tibetan Buddhist monks from the Dip Tse Chok Ling Monastery in Tibet -- We will take a wonderful journey into the world of Tibetan arts and Buddha's teachings.
Tibetan Thangkas and their Practical Significance on the Path.
Thangkas; are a painting on silk with embroidery, usually depicting a Buddhist deity, scene, or mandala of some sort. The thangka is not a flat creation like an oil painting or acrylic painting but consists of a picture panel which is painted or embroidered over which a textile is mounted and then over which is laid a cover, usually silk. Generally, thangkas last a very long time and retain much of their lustre, but because of their delicate nature, they have to be kept in dry places where moisture won't affect the quality of the silk. It is sometimes called a scroll-painting.
The literal translation of the Tibetan word THANG KA means 'recorded message'. Thangkas communicate a message to the practitioner, serving as an aid to teaching and as an aid to meditation through the visualisation of the deity. It is a medium through which the Buddhist philosophy can be explained. Originally lamas and monks used scroll paintings to instruct the Buddhist Dharma (teachings). These paintings were easily transported and unrolled to suit the needs of the mainly nomadic population. The lama would go to a village, unroll a thangka and use it to illustrate their tales on Buddhist philosophy when narrating before an audience. Thangkas also have public ceremonial uses. Up until today some monasteries possess huge (usually appliqué) thangkas that are unrolled on certain holidays for viewing and worship.
What is the purpose of a thangka, what use was it originally intended for? Thangkas are intended to serve as a record of, and guide for contemplative experience. Thangka, when created properly, perform several different functions. Images of deities can be used as teaching tools when depicting the life (or lives) of the Buddha, describing historical events concerning important Lamas, or retelling myths associated with other deities. Devotional images act as the centerpiece during a ritual or ceremony and are often used as mediums through which one can offer prayers or make requests. Overall, and perhaps most importantly, religious art is used as a meditation tool to help bring one further down the path to enlightenment. The Buddhist Vajrayana practitioner uses a thangka image of their yidam, or personal meditation deity, as a guide, by visualizing "themselves as being that deity, thereby internalizing the Buddha qualities.
In this way, thangkas are intended to convey iconographic information in a pictorial manner. A text of the same meditation would supply similar details in written descriptive form. Eminent teachers will create a thangka to express their own insight and experience. This type of thangka comes from a traditionally trained meditation master and artist who create a new arrangement of forms to convey his insight so that his students may benefit from it. For example, you might be instructed by your teacher to imagine yourself as a specific figure in a specific setting. You could use a thangka as a reference for the details of posture, attitude, colour, clothing. etc., of a figure located in a field, or in a palace, possibly surrounded by many other figures of meditation teachers, your family, etc.
On a deeper level thangka paintings are the visual expression of the fully awakened state of enlightenment, this being the ultimate goal of the Buddhist spiritual path. That's why a thangka is sometimes called 'the roadmap to enlightenment'. To sketch the figures in a thangka the painter needs an exact knowledge of the measurements and proportions of each deity as established by Buddhist iconography and artistic practice. A grid containing these proportions is essential to establish the continuity and correct transmission of the figures.

Tibetan art
Tibetan art refers to the art of Tibet. For more than a thousand years, Tibetan artists have played a key role in the cultural life of Tibet. From designs for painted furniture to elaborate murals in religious buildings, their efforts have permeated virtually every facet of life on the Tibetan plateau. The vast majority of surviving artworks created before the mid-20th century are dedicated to the depiction of religious subjects, with the main forms being thangka, distemper paintings on cloth, Tibetan Buddhist wall paintings, and small statues in bronze, or large ones in clay, stucco or wood. They were commissioned by religious establishments or by pious individuals for use within the practice of Tibetan Buddhism and were manufactured in large workshops by monks and lay artists, who are mostly unknown.
The art of Tibet may be studied in terms of influences which have contributed to it over the centuries, from other Chinese, Nepalese, Indian, and sacred styles.

Dalai Lama
The Dalai Lama /ˈdɑːlaɪ ˈlɑːmə/ is a monk of the Gelug or "Yellow Hat" school of Tibetan Buddhism, the newest of the schools of Tibetan Buddhism founded by Je Tsongkhapa. The 14th and current Dalai Lama is Tenzin Gyatso.
The Dalai Lama is considered to be the successor in a line of tulkus who are believed to be incarnations of Avalokiteśvara, the Bodhisattva of Compassion, called Chenrezig in Tibetan. The name is a combination of the Mongolic word dalai meaning "ocean" (being the translation of the Tibetan name, 'Gyatso') and the Tibetan word བླ་མ་ (bla-ma) meaning "guru, teacher, mentor". The Tibetan word "lama" corresponds to the better known Sanskrit word "guru".
From 1642 until the 1950s (except for 1705 to 1750), the Dalai Lamas or their regents headed the Tibetan government or Ganden Phodrang which governed all or most of the Tibetan plateau from Lhasa with varying degrees of autonomy, up to complete sovereignty. This government also enjoyed the patronage and protection of firstly Mongol kings of the Khoshut and Dzungar Khanates (1642–1720) and then of the emperors of the Manchu-led Qing dynasty (1720–1912).

Timelapse: Tibetan Sand Mandala Demonstration
From August 16--19, 2012, six Tibetan Buddhist monks travelled to San Francisco from the Drepung Loseling Phukhang Monastery in South India to create a sand mandala for the Asian Art Museum. Over four days, they meticulously applied powdered pigments to a geometric mandala outline. The monks intend that the sand mandala will generate positive effects that radiate over the entire region. They believe that the mandala's presence will bless both the environment and the beings therein, thus making a Buddhist contribution to world peace. Once the sand mandala has been completed, this painstakingly created artwork was then destroyed and scattered. To do so spreads the sand mandala's benefits throughout the world.

Sacred Sand Art of the Tibetan Lamas (Dalai Lama)
This video was taken of Drepung Loseling monks from Tibet while they were at a cultural exchange at Wingate University. A unique and exquisite artistic tradition is that of painting with colored sand. In the Tibetian language, this art form is called dul-tson-kyil-khor, which means "mandala of colored powders." A mandala is a circle, often enclosing a square, that symbolizes a mystical representation of the universe. The process begins when the monks draw the line design for the mandala they will create. Millions of grains of sand are painstakingly laid into place on a flat platform over a period of days. Hope you enjoy the video.

Aerodynamic Tibetan Contemporary Art
The Traditional Implemented; Transcending boundaries ( 2014; mixed media, colored sand, oil on denim jeans; 71,4” x 109” / 181 x 277 cm) Centered is a mandala of compassion, but in the middle sits Amitayus instead of Avaloketeshvara. Amitayus (Tse-pameh in Tibetan) is considered the samboghakaya form of Amitabha and reflects infinite life. Since 2011 the Dalai Lama, as a reincarnation form of Avaloketeshera, shares his responsibilities. He carried on being the Spiritual leader of his people in the world, but he stopped his governmental-political duties trying to deepen the authority of the movement’s democratic government, which is based in Dharamsala, by a chosen prime minister. It has to benefit the Tibetans in the long run. A constructed mandala is a celestial residence of a medit...

LEAD IN
Taiwan's National Palace Museum is hosting a rare exhibition on Tibetan arts.
The star of the exhibition is the gilt bronze statue dating from the 17th century nick-named the 'thousand-hand Buddha goddess',
STORYLINE :
Sahasrasbhuja -avalokitesvara is a true Tibetan treasure.
The many handed goddess stands 77 centimetres high and has hundreds of tiny hands each individually crafted surrounding her figure.
The eyes on each palm symbolises her ability to see everything.
Lee Yu - Min, the exhibition's curator says that the museum is delighted to the Buddha goddess in their collection.
"All these kinds of details are very hard to make, particularly so many layers of the hands. It's very difficult work and the craftsman can make it so good and we are very happy to have it here"
Another rare piece is the 11th century bronze statue of Maitreya, the future reborn of Lord Buddha.
Made from gilt bronze with turquoise, silver and copper inlay, pigments and gold paint, Maitreya has a distinctive Indian design, curved shape of the body, and the feminine facial line.
The artwork reflects the cultural interchange between India and Tibet.
"So we know this piece is made in India but is made for Tibetan monk or Monastery or it is also possible that it was made by India artist in Tibet" says Lee Yu-Min.
Over a hundred pieces of Tibetan arts are on exhibition here, some of which had rarely left their homes in the
Monastery and Palaces of Tibet.
Many were originally found at Dalai Lama's Summer Palace, Norbulingka.
In another room monks from Tibet are showing their skills in sand painting with coloured sand.

The Traditional Implemented; Transcending boundaries
( 2014; mixed media, colored sand, oil on denim jeans; 71,4” x 109” / 181 x 277 cm)
Centered is a mandala of compassion, but in the middle sits Amitayus instead of Avaloketeshvara. Amitayus (Tse-pameh in Tibetan) is considered the samboghakaya form of Amitabha and reflects infinite life. Since 2011 the Dalai Lama, as a reincarnation form of Avaloketeshera, shares his responsibilities. He carried on being the Spiritual leader of his people in the world, but he stopped his governmental-political duties trying to deepen the authority of the movement’s democratic government, which is based in Dharamsala, by a chosen prime minister. It has to benefit the Tibetans in the long run.
A constructed mandala is a celestial residence of a meditation deity and every aspect of it has a deep meaning. The doorways on all four directions represent the Four Immeasurable Thoughts: love, compassion, joy and equanimity. The mandala also represents the universe, which is dependent on the exact ratio of the four elements (fire, water, earth and air). E.g. too much fire burns, too less makes it cold and the right amount makes growing and flowering possible. This is both taught in Buddhism as well as in the western science education.
We, human beings, do not understand everything in our world. The clouds present us a veil behind which many ‘secrets’ are hidden. In fact, they are not tangible with our senses, but they may reveal through meditation and development of a higher Buddhist nature. An optimal society as the mythical Shambala (a fourth dimension?) is therefore also represented in this mandala.

Tankha Arts, Indo Tibetan Buddhism - The Buddhist Path to Liberation... Video arranged and done by Facundo Soares Gache...
By the captivating sound in a Puja ceremony perform by the Tibetan Buddhist monks from the Dip Tse Chok Ling Monastery in Tibet -- We will take a wonderful journey into the world of Tibetan arts and Buddha's teachings.
Tibetan Thangkas and their Practical Significance on the Path.
Thangkas; are a painting on silk with embroidery, usually depicting a Buddhist deity, scene, or mandala of some sort. The thangka is not a flat creation like an oil painting or acrylic painting but consists of a picture panel which is painted or embroidered over which a textile is mounted and then over which is laid a cover, usually silk. Generally, thangkas last a very long time and retain much of their lustre, but because of their delicate nature, they have to be kept in dry places where moisture won't affect the quality of the silk. It is sometimes called a scroll-painting.
The literal translation of the Tibetan word THANG KA means 'recorded message'. Thangkas communicate a message to the practitioner, serving as an aid to teaching and as an aid to meditation through the visualisation of the deity. It is a medium through which the Buddhist philosophy can be explained. Originally lamas and monks used scroll paintings to instruct the Buddhist Dharma (teachings). These paintings were easily transported and unrolled to suit the needs of the mainly nomadic population. The lama would go to a village, unroll a thangka and use it to illustrate their tales on Buddhist philosophy when narrating before an audience. Thangkas also have public ceremonial uses. Up until today some monasteries possess huge (usually appliqué) thangkas that are unrolled on certain holidays for viewing and worship.
What is the purpose of a thangka, what use was it originally intended for? Thangkas are intended to serve as a record of, and guide for contemplative experience. Thangka, when created properly, perform several different functions. Images of deities can be used as teaching tools when depicting the life (or lives) of the Buddha, describing historical events concerning important Lamas, or retelling myths associated with other deities. Devotional images act as the centerpiece during a ritual or ceremony and are often used as mediums through which one can offer prayers or make requests. Overall, and perhaps most importantly, religious art is used as a meditation tool to help bring one further down the path to enlightenment. The Buddhist Vajrayana practitioner uses a thangka image of their yidam, or personal meditation deity, as a guide, by visualizing "themselves as being that deity, thereby internalizing the Buddha qualities.
In this way, thangkas are intended to convey iconographic information in a pictorial manner. A text of the same meditation would supply similar details in written descriptive form. Eminent teachers will create a thangka to express their own insight and experience. This type of thangka comes from a traditionally trained meditation master and artist who create a new arrangement of forms to convey his insight so that his students may benefit from it. For example, you might be instructed by your teacher to imagine yourself as a specific figure in a specific setting. You could use a thangka as a reference for the details of posture, attitude, colour, clothing. etc., of a figure located in a field, or in a palace, possibly surrounded by many other figures of meditation teachers, your family, etc.
On a deeper level thangka paintings are the visual expression of the fully awakened state of enlightenment, this being the ultimate goal of the Buddhist spiritual path. That's why a thangka is sometimes called 'the roadmap to enlightenment'. To sketch the figures in a thangka the painter needs an exact knowledge of the measurements and proportions of each deity as established by Buddhist iconography and artistic practice. A grid containing these proportions is essential to establish the continuity and correct transmission of the figures.

What is the purpose of a thangka, what use was it originally intended for? Thangkas are intended to serve as a record of, and guide for contemplative experience. Thangka, when created properly, perform several different functions. Images of deities can be used as teaching tools when depicting the life (or lives) of the Buddha, describing historical events concerning important Lamas, or retelling myths associated with other deities. Devotional images act as the centerpiece during a ritual or ceremony and are often used as mediums through which one can offer prayers or make requests. Overall, and perhaps most importantly, religious art is used as a meditation tool to help bring one further down the path to enlightenment. The Buddhist Vajrayana practitioner uses a thangka image of their yidam, or personal meditation deity, as a guide, by visualizing "themselves as being that deity, thereby internalizing the Buddha qualities.
In this way, thangkas are intended to convey iconographic information in a pictorial manner. A text of the same meditation would supply similar details in written descriptive form. Eminent teachers will create a thangka to express their own insight and experience. This type of thangka comes from a traditionally trained meditation master and artist who create a new arrangement of forms to convey his insight so that his students may benefit from it. For example, you might be instructed by your teacher to imagine yourself as a specific figure in a specific setting. You could use a thangka as a reference for the details of posture, attitude, colour, clothing. etc., of a figure located in a field, or in a palace, possibly surrounded by many other figures of meditation teachers, your family, etc.
On a deeper level thangka paintings are the visual expression of the fully awakened state of enlightenment, this being the ultimate goal of the Buddhist spiritual path. That's why a thangka is sometimes called 'the roadmap to enlightenment'. To sketch the figures in a thangka the painter needs an exact knowledge of the measurements and proportions of each deity as established by Buddhist iconography and artistic practice. A grid containing these proportions is essential to establish the continuity and correct transmission of the figures.

From August 16--19, 2012, six Tibetan Buddhist monks travelled to San Francisco from the Drepung Loseling Phukhang Monastery in South India to create a sand mandala for the Asian Art Museum. Over four days, they meticulously applied powdered pigments to a geometric mandala outline. The monks intend that the sand mandala will generate positive effects that radiate over the entire region. They believe that the mandala's presence will bless both the environment and the beings therein, thus making a Buddhist contribution to world peace. Once the sand mandala has been completed, this painstakingly created artwork was then destroyed and scattered. To do so spreads the sand mandala's benefits throughout the world.

Sacred Sand Art of the Tibetan Lamas (Dalai Lama)
This video was taken of Drepung Loseling monks from Tibet while they were at a cultural exchange at Wingate University. A unique and exquisite artistic tradition is that of painting with colored sand. In the Tibetian language, this art form is called dul-tson-kyil-khor, which means "mandala of colored powders." A mandala is a circle, often enclosing a square, that symbolizes a mystical representation of the universe. The process begins when the monks draw the line design for the mandala they will create. Millions of grains of sand are painstakingly laid into place on a flat platform over a period of days. Hope you enjoy the video.

Aerodynamic Tibetan Contemporary Art
The Traditional Implemented; Transcending boundaries ( 2014; mixed media, colored sand, oil on denim jeans; 71,4” x 109” / 181 x 277 cm) Centered is a mandala of compassion, but in the middle sits Amitayus instead of Avaloketeshvara. Amitayus (Tse-pameh in Tibetan) is considered the samboghakaya form of Amitabha and reflects infinite life. Since 2011 the Dalai Lama, as a reincarnation form of Avaloketeshera, shares his responsibilities. He carried on being the Spiritual leader of his people in the world, but he stopped his governmental-political duties trying to deepen the authority of the movement’s democratic government, which is based in Dharamsala, by a chosen prime minister. It has to benefit the Tibetans in the long run. A constructed mandala is a celestial residence of a medit...

Taiwan's National Palace Museum is hosting a rare exhibition on Tibetan arts.
The star of the exhibition is the gilt bronze statue dating from the 17th century nick-named the 'thousand-hand Buddha goddess',
STORYLINE :
Sahasrasbhuja -avalokitesvara is a true Tibetan treasure.
The many handed goddess stands 77 centimetres high and has hundreds of tiny hands each individually crafted surrounding her figure.
The eyes on each palm symbolises her ability to see everything.
Lee Yu - Min, the exhibition's curator says that the museum is delighted to the Buddha goddess in their collection.
"All these kinds of details are very hard to make, particularly so many layers of the hands. It's very difficult work and the craftsman can make it so good and we are very happy to have it here"
Another rare piece is the 11th century bronze statue of Maitreya, the future reborn of Lord Buddha.
Made from gilt bronze with turquoise, silver and copper inlay, pigments and gold paint, Maitreya has a distinctive Indian design, curved shape of the body, and the feminine facial line.
The artwork reflects the cultural interchange between India and Tibet.
"So we know this piece is made in India but is made for Tibetan monk or Monastery or it is also possible that it was made by India artist in Tibet" says Lee Yu-Min.
Over a hundred pieces of Tibetan arts are on exhibition here, some of which had rarely left their homes in the
Monastery and Palaces of Tibet.
Many were originally found at Dalai Lama's Summer Palace, Norbulingka.
In another room monks from Tibet are showing their skills in sand painting with coloured sand.

The Traditional Implemented; Transcending boundaries
( 2014; mixed media, colored sand, oil on denim jeans; 71,4” x 109” / 181 x 277 cm)
Centered is a mandala of compassion, but in the middle sits Amitayus instead of Avaloketeshvara. Amitayus (Tse-pameh in Tibetan) is considered the samboghakaya form of Amitabha and reflects infinite life. Since 2011 the Dalai Lama, as a reincarnation form of Avaloketeshera, shares his responsibilities. He carried on being the Spiritual leader of his people in the world, but he stopped his governmental-political duties trying to deepen the authority of the movement’s democratic government, which is based in Dharamsala, by a chosen prime minister. It has to benefit the Tibetans in the long run.
A constructed mandala is a celestial residence of a meditation deity and every aspect of it has a deep meaning. The doorways on all four directions represent the Four Immeasurable Thoughts: love, compassion, joy and equanimity. The mandala also represents the universe, which is dependent on the exact ratio of the four elements (fire, water, earth and air). E.g. too much fire burns, too less makes it cold and the right amount makes growing and flowering possible. This is both taught in Buddhism as well as in the western science education.
We, human beings, do not understand everything in our world. The clouds present us a veil behind which many ‘secrets’ are hidden. In fact, they are not tangible with our senses, but they may reveal through meditation and development of a higher Buddhist nature. An optimal society as the mythical Shambala (a fourth dimension?) is therefore also represented in this mandala.

By the captivating sound in a Puja ceremony perform by the Tibetan Buddhist monks from the Dip Tse Chok Ling Monastery in Tibet -- We will take a wonderful journey into the world of Tibetan arts and Buddha's teachings.
Tibetan Thangkas and their Practical Significance on the Path.
Thangkas; are a painting on silk with embroidery, usually depicting a Buddhist deity, scene, or mandala of some sort. The thangka is not a flat creation like an oil painting or acrylic painting but consists of a picture panel which is painted or embroidered over which a textile is mounted and then over which is laid a cover, usually silk. Generally, thangkas last a very long time and retain much of their lustre, but because of their delicate nature, they have to be kept in dry places where moisture won't affect the quality of the silk. It is sometimes called a scroll-painting.
The literal translation of the Tibetan word THANG KA means 'recorded message'. Thangkas communicate a message to the practitioner, serving as an aid to teaching and as an aid to meditation through the visualisation of the deity. It is a medium through which the Buddhist philosophy can be explained. Originally lamas and monks used scroll paintings to instruct the Buddhist Dharma (teachings). These paintings were easily transported and unrolled to suit the needs of the mainly nomadic population. The lama would go to a village, unroll a thangka and use it to illustrate their tales on Buddhist philosophy when narrating before an audience. Thangkas also have public ceremonial uses. Up until today some monasteries possess huge (usually appliqué) thangkas that are unrolled on certain holidays for viewing and worship.
What is the purpose of a thangka, what use was it originally intended for? Thangkas are intended to serve as a record of, and guide for contemplative experience. Thangka, when created properly, perform several different functions. Images of deities can be used as teaching tools when depicting the life (or lives) of the Buddha, describing historical events concerning important Lamas, or retelling myths associated with other deities. Devotional images act as the centerpiece during a ritual or ceremony and are often used as mediums through which one can offer prayers or make requests. Overall, and perhaps most importantly, religious art is used as a meditation tool to help bring one further down the path to enlightenment. The Buddhist Vajrayana practitioner uses a thangka image of their yidam, or personal meditation deity, as a guide, by visualizing "themselves as being that deity, thereby internalizing the Buddha qualities.
In this way, thangkas are intended to convey iconographic information in a pictorial manner. A text of the same meditation would supply similar details in written descriptive form. Eminent teachers will create a thangka to express their own insight and experience. This type of thangka comes from a traditionally trained meditation master and artist who create a new arrangement of forms to convey his insight so that his students may benefit from it. For example, you might be instructed by your teacher to imagine yourself as a specific figure in a specific setting. You could use a thangka as a reference for the details of posture, attitude, colour, clothing. etc., of a figure located in a field, or in a palace, possibly surrounded by many other figures of meditation teachers, your family, etc.
On a deeper level thangka paintings are the visual expression of the fully awakened state of enlightenment, this being the ultimate goal of the Buddhist spiritual path. That's why a thangka is sometimes called 'the roadmap to enlightenment'. To sketch the figures in a thangka the painter needs an exact knowledge of the measurements and proportions of each deity as established by Buddhist iconography and artistic practice. A grid containing these proportions is essential to establish the continuity and correct transmission of the figures.

Womb Pulsing: Ancient Healing Art of the Tibetan Womb Khandros
This practice, from the lineage of pre-patriarchal Tibetan Feminine Womb Shamans, awakens our wild feminine essence and the living pulse of Shakti within. It connects us to our power, passion and pleasure, our YES, reminding us of the bliss of freedom that is our birthright. We are meant to have a primordial heartbeat, deep in our Womb, our Feminine centre. But the repression of the wild feminine has caused it to flatline. Now the Feminine heart beats again, wild and strong. Womb power returns. Womb Pulsing moves stuck and stagnant energy and emotions, allowing life-force to flow once again. It can assist women and men to connect with their inner power, heal pelvic congestion, and create space for deep shamanic sexual awakening. Womb Pulsing can assist with: * Healing endometriosis ...

This practice, from the lineage of pre-patriarchal Tibetan Feminine Womb Shamans, awakens our wild feminine essence and the living pulse of Shakti within. It connects us to our power, passion and pleasure, our YES, reminding us of the bliss of freedom that is our birthright. We are meant to have a primordial heartbeat, deep in our Womb, our Feminine centre. But the repression of the wild feminine has caused it to flatline.

Womb Pulsing moves stuck and stagnant energy and emotions, allowing life-force to flow once again. It can assist women and men to connect with their inner power, heal pelvic congestion, and create space for deep shamanic sexual awakening.
Womb Pulsing can assist with:
* Healing endometriosis or pelvic stagnation
* Increasing libido and sexual pleasure
* Improving self-esteem and personal power
* Improving fertility and feminine vibrancy
* Catalysing sexual awakening and ecstatic states
* Healing sexual trauma and shutdown
This practice should be learned initially under the guidance of a trained teacher, and should not be done by anyone who is pregnant or with ongoing medical conditions unless cleared by your health practitioner. Please contact a Womb Awakening Mentor at www.thefountainoflife.org if you wish to attend a Womb Awakening event.
