Global Rhythms -- Tibetan and Nepalese Art

Tibetan and Nepalese art

SACRED ART FROM
TIBET & NEPAL

These paintings are by artists from Tibet and Nepal. Literally "scrolled art", Thangkas are classic Tibetan Buddhist paintings. The artists spend at least one week to create the paintings

Thangkas are used to help Buddhist practitioners with their religious practice, and are an important means of religious expression. Each sacred image acts as a focus and support for the practicing Buddhism, and serve as a reminder of the Buddhist's commitment to travel the path of Buddha.
