About Tapihritsa – The Bon Yogi of the Rainbow Body
Tapihritsa, a revered figure in the Bon tradition, was a practitioner who achieved the ultimate spiritual realization of the rainbow body, becoming a trikaya Buddha. Born to a nomadic family in the country of Zhang Zhung, Tapihritsa’s journey to enlightenment was guided by his main teacher, Dawa Gyaltsen. After nine years of intense spiritual practice in a holy place outside Mount Kailash, Tapihritsa attained the extraordinary state of the rainbow body, a sign of the highest Dzogchen realization.
Tapihritsa’s story is intertwined with that of Nangzher Lopo, a renowned master in Zhang Zhung. Despite having previously received teachings from Nangzher Lopo, Tapihritsa’s path was shaped by the realization that his master’s pride had obstructed his full enlightenment. The legend tells of Tapihritsa manifesting as a young boy to engage in a profound debate on meditation with Nangzher Lopo. The master, initially irritated, was stunned by the boy’s wisdom and presence. As he looked upon the young Tapihritsa seated cross-legged in mid-air, surrounded by a rainbow, Nangzher Lopo recognized the extraordinary nature of his student, a moment of deep spiritual realization.

Beyond all expectations
A very serious company that delivers on its promises. I purchased a thangka surrounded by damask fabric. The craftsmanship was excellent, and I was amazed by the quality and colors. The material arrived, well packaged, two days earlier than expected, despite having been shipped from Nepal.
A well-deserved five stars.

Gorgeous
I had debated whether I’d just get my own frame for my mandala instead, but now I’m so thankful I got the silk brocade frame. It does so much to elevate the beauty of the mandala and invite me to look at it with intent every time I pass it. Well worth it!

So happy with our stunningly beautiful Thangka painting
We received our beautiful Thangka painting in the United States 6 days after purchase. The quality is absolutely exquisite. There were no surprises; we could not be happier with our choice. The website picture was an accurate representation of the product. We would not hesitate to buy another painting in the future should we have space to hang it. Thank you Art of Tibet!

Manjushri Thangka
If you’re wondering about 50 percent off deals with this company - they are the real deal - the thangka I received was absolutely worth full price. Earlier I had a statue arrive broken and they absolutely stood by their product and made more than right. I highly recommend this seller and will continue to buy from them - Russ

Nice addition to my Thangka
I’m completely satisfied that I chose to add the silk frame because it sets off the sacred quality I attach to the Amitabha thangka especially well. It took a moment to decide which id choose because of the excellent selection offered!
