Tibetan Thangka Painting - Vajrayana Art

"The Tibetan Buddhist art form of thangka painting is a visual and symbolic representation of the spiritual deities which are utilized on the path to enlightenment. Because of the great significance of this art form it is important that the artists portraying the figures have the right motivation, have good ethical and moral values, be artistically creative enough to depict forms in a manner befitting their spiritual significance, and be able to clearly convey these values to the initiated and uninitiated alike."

Tibetan Thangka is not just another style of painting to look at, but rather as a means to enhance our own contemplative practice-to deepen the practices of mindfulness and meditation. It is also not just a representation of symbols and ideas. It is a direct experience of inner peace, free from attachment to the illusionary solidity of the ego and the phenomenal world. We at Enlightenment strive to maintain the above-mentioned values passed down by HH the 14th Dalai Lama. And while committed to the preservation and promotion of classical Tibetan thangka painting, we feel there is still space for the artistic creativity which will add to the richness of the tradition and enhance the spiritual quest of the Vajrayana practitioners.

Consecration of Thangka at Enlightenment

Enlightenment Thangka has acknowledged the relevance of the consecration procedure as a sanctuary for traditional Thangka art. We respect the essence of the art form and its relationship to the divine by fusing artistic genius with spiritual dedication. At the Enlightenment Thangka, the consecration procedure entails a precisely planned set of rituals and ceremonies, with each step infused with symbolism and importance. As requested for consecration/ blessing, we can take the respective thangka to Monasteries/ Rinpoches from nearby holy Boudha Stupa.
