About Guru Padmasambhava
Guru Padmasambhava, also known as Guru Rinpoche, was a powerful Tantric Buddhist master who played a pivotal role in spreading the teachings of Buddha Shakyamuni across Tibet and beyond. He is renowned for his miraculous powers, his ability to subdue harmful spirits and forces, and for establishing the teachings of Tantric Buddhism in the Himalayan region. Guru Rinpoche is believed to have had twenty-five great disciples, all of whom were instrumental in preserving the sacred teachings of the Buddha, ensuring their transmission to future generations.
Guru Padmasambhava’s golden-colored body, attired in a monastic robe and a brocade cap, exudes regal grace and spiritual authority. He is depicted in a standing posture, symbolizing his role as a spiritual king, guiding his followers with wisdom and compassion. In his right hand, Guru Rinpoche holds a vajra scepter, a symbol of his indomitable power and ability to dispel obstacles, while his left hand holds a skull cup containing a vase of immortality, representing the transmission of eternal wisdom.
The divine consort of bliss and emptiness is depicted in the form of the khatvanga trident, held within the curve of his left arm. This symbolizes the unity of wisdom and compassion, the essence of Guru Rinpoche’s teachings.

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.

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.
