The truth about life and parallel universes in Tibetan Thangka art

Waking Up Closer To Tibet

Ever seen beautiful scroll paintings with striking images of Buddhist deities and mandalas telling stories? That is the Thangka Art. The tradition of Thangka in Tibet is over centuries old. Buddhist deities or figures are either painted or sewn on specific fabrics like cotton and silk. Many Buddhist narratives are told through this form of art and it is believed that our ancestors preserved the knowledge of enlightened beings and displayed these narratives in the form of images. Just imagine how amazing it would be if we could decode what they really wanted us to know about having a successful human life and the possibilities of parallel universes! Tune in now to listen as Tenzin speaks with world-renowned Thangka Lhabri/Artist, Gen. Tashi Norbu.
