About Samantabhadra – The Primordial Lord of Unchanging Light
Samantabhadra, also known as Kun tu zang po in Tibetan, is a revered figure in the Nyingma tradition of Tibetan Buddhism. He is considered the Buddha of Primordial Light, embodying the unchanging, timeless nature of enlightenment. Samantabhadra’s origins lie in the early Nyingma Tantric texts, particularly the Guhyagarbha Tantra.
Samantabhadra is traditionally depicted as a blue-black Buddha, often naked and in a meditation posture with legs in a vajra stance. In his most common representation, he embraces his consort, Samantabhadri, who is light-skinned and also depicted naked. This imagery symbolizes the inseparable unity of wisdom and compassion, the male and female aspects of enlightenment. In some traditions, Samantabhadra and Samantabhadri are shown with clothing and jewelry.
There is also a variant depiction of Samantabhadra as part of the Five Buddhas of the Guhyagarbha Tantra, where his appearance and color can vary slightly, but his profound nature remains constant.
It is important to note that Samantabhadra the Buddha is different from Samantabhadra the Bodhisattva, the latter being a figure from Mahayana Sutra literature.

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.

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.
