BIG WHEEL OF LIFE GOLD LEAF THANGKA PAINTING

The Wheel of Life is a detailed representation explaining death and rebirth. It’s pictorial wheel shows the different realms (bardo) between life and death that a soul must traverse. It also warns of the basic spiritual challenges that face every human being. We could learn alot from the ancients. These Thangka are an amazing representation of the depth in which Tibetans have persued self inquiry.

Thagnkas are painted with all natural vegetable dyes extracted from Himalayan plants. The colors are stabilized with a tree sap to give them great longevity. Painting a Thangka requires great concentration, which is a meditation practice in itself. The artist also contemplate the images in the painting and their metaphysical meanings. The Thangka is a portable shrine that has been used since ancient times by Mahayana Buddhist Monks for various ceremonies and also as teaching aids. They are traditionally encased in silk brocade frames which allow them to roll up for the monks to travel with them.

I always have a Thangka hanging in my home. You will be amazed at the impact of such a sacred object. The Tibetans say that these archetypes are common to all humanity and they stimulate your unconscious memory. This opens up a more meditative awareness inside of you. All Thangkas are enshrined in a silk brocade frame. Each silk frame also has a golden silk cover that comes down over the front. This is traditionally only raised up when the Thangka Painting is activated for teaching, rituals, or meditation.The outside measurements of the silk are 25 X 42 inches. The inside painting measure 16 X 22 inches.
