Original Masterpiece Thangka
About Buddha Shakti – The Sacred Union This Thangka depicts the profound Buddhist symbolism of Yab-yum (Tibetan: "father-mother"), a powerful representation of the primordial union of wisdom and compassion. In this iconic pose, the male deity represents compassion (karuṇā) and skillful means (upāya-kauśalya), while the female consort embodies wisdom (prajñā). The female figure is traditionally seated on the male’s lap, signifying the inseparable connection between these two essential qualities of the Buddha's path.
In some unique depictions, the figures may be reversed, with the male sitting on the female’s lap, referred to as yum-yab. This rare arrangement highlights the dynamic interplay of energies, where wisdom and compassion continuously support and elevate each other. The symbolism of this sacred union is deeply connected to the teachings of Anuttarayoga Tantra in Tibetan Buddhism.

High craft quality.
I lived in Kathmandu from 1984 to 1987. In 1985, I even sneaked into Lhasa. These crafts have maintained the same high quality as they did back then. Thank you 🙏

THANGKA, A SACRED ART
Tibetan Thangka paintings, also known as the “Art of Enlightenment”, are sacred pieces of art that are rich in symbolism. They are important supports that are revered for meditation and visualization.
The Tibetan thangka meaning goes deeper than just sacred art and conveys reverence. An art form is genuinely sacred when it awakens a direct experience deeper than our ordinary selves and the material world in the mind.
We are proud to offer our customers only the best selection of Tibetan art. All our paintings go through a rigorous screening process in our studio and are guaranteed to be origianl and authentic.
100% COTTON CANVAS & NATURAL MINERALS
Preparing the Cotton canvas before starting to paint a Thangka. This process includes washing, drying, stretching, sizing and everything needed to make a perfect base for the thangka to last for centuries.
Thangka paintings are painted using natural minerals such as agate, gold, silver, cinnabar, saffron, ocher, rhubarb,lapis and many other minerals. To create the ideal pigment for painting, these materials are ground several times. This makes the materials even more durable and long-lasting. Thus, you can surely expect the color of the Thangka to withstand the test of time.
The gold in the ornaments and detailing is made from real gold dust.

Thank you dear Nepalese artist who painted my White Tara Thangka. It is not only beautiful , but the sacred vibrations shine out when I lift and shape the silk panel into a silken flower shape. The workmanship is excellent and the vibrant colours are a constant delight.

A Stunning Healing Collection!
My story begins with the purchase of a full Fire Horse Moon Bowl collection. That fiery, energizing collection is quirky and brilliant. I learned though that bowls created under the Super Flower Blood Moon offer healing and transformation, and I need both. I began by buying a simple crown chakra bowl, to draw the heat from my body. It arrived from halfway around the world in perfect condition, and it’s sound was so luminous, I decided to buy the whole set!! I am thrilled about my purchase and I am deeply grateful to Mila for his assistance. I find it a bit funny that my bowls have traveled more than I have, originating in Kathmandu and passing through Dubai and Leipzig before arriving in the middle of the United States!! I will keep my eye on the productions of The Art of Tibet, and am most curious about the possibility of a Total Eclipse Blue Moon collection in a few years!

Nice quality bracelet
I'm happy with the bracelet, and this is my first healing bracelet. The quality is good, the elastic stretch string has multiple strands for a strong hold, so it was put together well. It also comes with a nice jewelry pouch.
I chose this company because the proceeds support Nepalese artisans including Tibetan and Newari, and I'm happy to support this.
