Tibetan Thanka Painting is very important to Tibetans as part of Buddhism, especially since the occupation of Tibet by Communist China fifty years ago, many aspects of Tibetan culture have been threatened. Among them is the centuries-old tradition of thanka painting. Thanka painting is a uniquely Tibetan
tradition that evolved between the 7th and 12th centuries. Its origins lay in Indian religious art, but Nepalese, Chinese and Kashmiri styles also influenced its development. Painted on canvas and mounted in silk brocade, a thanka is more than just a work of art. It is an object of devotion, an aid to spiritual practice, and a bringer of blessings.
Thankas come in a huge variety of styles, depicting various subjects. A thanka may portray the Buddha or some other deity, or a concept in Tibetan cosmology, astrology or medicine. The iconography of the thanka is rich in information about the spiritual practice of Buddhists and the Tibetan worldview. A thanka can help a meditator to learn and emulate the qualities of a particular deity, or to visualize his or her path towards enlightenment. It can bring blessings on the household and serves as a constant reminder of the Buddha’s teachings of compassion, kindness and wisdom. Thankas of particular deities may be used for protection or to overcome difficulties such as sickness.
An example of the exquisite sacred art of the Himalayas this is a Kalachakra Mandala, one of the unique scroll paintings we have on offer from a master artist.
