T is neither a painting in the mind Nor a mind in the painting: And yet, w else can one find a painting Than in the mind? Avatamsaka Sutra PRICED $30 BELOW THE PREVIOUS LOW PRICE!!!!!! I am planning on spending 2 months in the Golok area of Amdo, Tibet this summer at my teacher, Khentrul Lodro Thaye Rinpoche's monastery t In order to do so, I need a lot more cash than I have right now, so I am going to put as many items as I can on sale for as low a price as I can - many below cost! I plan on helping him finish rebuilding the monastery and school and hope to start taking photographs for a prospective book on him and his monastery. Email me if you would like to help him directly and I will send you his web address which has ways to help. In the center of this mandala is a Sri-Yantra, an ancient symbol pre-dating Hinduism and Buddhism. The borders have interesting stylised dragons and wish-fulfilling gems. Below are mountains and the ocean. See a few paragraphs below for more information on the Sri-Yantra and mandalas. Measures about 18 inches by 24 & 1/4 inches, not counting the outermost black borders. This thangka is not mounted in brocade and unfortunately I cannot provide that service. Check out my other items ! Please take the time to look at the other items in my store: I want to make clear that in no way, shape or form do I represent myself as an expert on Tibetan iconography or thangka painting. I am just a beginner in understanding this profound art form. I strive to provide the best quality thangkas for the price on eBay. They are all original paintings done with mineral pigments and pure gold paint on canvas. You won't find any imitation Chinese thangkas ! If t is any kind of problem, let me know. I will never knowingly misrepresent anything I am selling. T is always the chance that I may have been fooled myself, but will try to correct the situation if that ever happens. Please contact me if you think I have been misled. I also don't try to exaggerate the colors or contrast in my photos to make them more appealing. I believe in karma and that honesty is always the best policy and will do business by these principles. Please compare my detailed thangka photos to other thangkas available on eBay to determine the quality. Don't bother to compare them to the extremely low quality glut of fake "antique" or "old" "Tibetan" thangkas from China that have flooded the market in the last few years. T IS no comparison with these fakes that are as iconographically as incorrect as you can possibly find! These thangkas are really terrible quality!! I haven't seen a genuine antique Tibetan thangka on ebay in MANY years. Not only has China 's brutal regime been systematically eliminating Tibet 's culture and religion in Tibet , they are ruining the art of thangka painting w it is barely hanging on in exile in Nepal and India . I will be glad to combine shipping and insurance on multiple items. I will ship worldwide with the buyer paying the actual shipping costs. Email me for costs and options to your country. Satisfaction guaranteed, but I can't control the U.S. or foreign Postal Services, or make you read the item description carefully. If t is any problem, let me know and we will work it out. Yantra literally means loom, instrument or machine. In actual practice, a yantra is a symbolic representation of aspects of divinity, usually the Mother Goddess or Durga. It is an interlocking matrix of geometric figures, circles, triangles and floral patterns that form fractal patterns of elegance and beauty. Though drawn in two dimensions, a yantra is supposed to represent a three dimensional sacred object. Three-dimensional yantras are now becoming increasingly common. Although the yantra is primarily a meditation tool both for serious spiritual seekers as well as sculptors in the classical tradition, its shakti is also available to new seekers with sincere devotion and good intention.
