Product Description
This hand drawn Tibetan Buddhist thangka is made on cotton canvas and showcases the Wheel of Life, representing reincarnation - the cycle of birth, death, and rebirth caused by karma. At the center, the three animals (pig, snake, rooster) represent ignorance, hatred, and desire, which plunge sentient beings into pain. Surrounding these six domains - gods, demigods, humans, animals, hungry ghosts, and hellish creatures - each domain has its own pain. The Grim Reaper, the King of Hell, holds a bronze mirror that conjures up various states of life, emphasizing the impermanence of life.
This thangka reflects centuries of artistic expertise and spiritual dedication. The outer edge displays the twelve stages of dependency origin, outlining how sentient beings fall into reincarnation. In the above picture, the Buddha points to the moon and points out the path to freedom through enlightenment. Thangka is a teaching tool that helps practitioners master pain and attain liberation through Buddhist practice.
Mineral-based colors give this thangka a vivid and enduring appearance.

CONSECRATION OF PRODUCT
For requests for consecrations/blessings, we can take the thangka to monasteries or Rinpoches from the nearby Boudha Stupa. We kindly ask you to offer $50 for the monasteries for blessings/consecration services.
Natural Colors in Thangka
All the colors used in the thankgas are made from natural minerals. Ground into pigments, they carry the essence of the earth. Unlike artificial colors, these natural tones shine with honesty, adding depth, life, and spiritual meaning to each canvas.
Thangka in Modern Spaces
In modern spaces, thangkas bring together tradition and contemporary design. Once used mainly in temples, these sacred artworks now enhance homes, offices, and galleries with their vibrant colors and deep symbolism. They create harmony, inspire reflection, and serve as meaningful focal points in today’s interiors.
