Created in the 1950s, this extraordinary thangka is a hand-painted devotional work by a Tibetan monk in meditation. Each brushstroke is not mere pigment, but prayer — a meditative act infused with mantra, concentration, and sacred intention.
The painting is adorned with hand-applied gold leaf, a rare element traditionally reserved for sacred iconography, lending the surface a luminous quality that shifts with the light. At once window and mirror, the thangka reflects both the vast cosmology of Tibetan Buddhism and the meditative state of its maker.

Note on Sacred Objects
Our pieces often originate in Buddhist traditions, yet their essence is universal. You do not need to be Buddhist — nor hold any specific beliefs — to welcome them into your life. These objects are not bound to religious worship; they are reminders of awareness, compassion, and our shared connection as human beings. Whether worn, carried, or placed in your space, they serve as anchors for mindfulness and presence — a quiet reminder of the truth that we are all connected.
