Thangka Paintings Online
A Tibetan Thangka painting is a painted or embroidered banner which was hung in a monastery or a family altar and carried by lamas in ceremonial processions. On the basis of techniques involved and materials used thangkas can be grouped into several categories. Generally they are divided into two broad categories: those which are painted (called bris-than in Tibetan) and those which are made of silk either by weaving or with embroidery called (gos-than). Be it a Mandala painting or a thangka depicting Tibetan deities such as Goddess Tara, Avalokiteshvara (Chenrezig), Manjushri, Padmasambhava, a buddhist thangka will always remain an important facet of Tibetan Buddhism and Tibetan Art.

Dalai Lama: The Tradition And The Cult

"Dalai Lama, an epithet used for the first time in 1578 by the Mongol ruler Altan Khan for Sonam Gyatso, the Third Dalai Lama....The Tibetan mind was thus naturally inclined to the bodhisattva-cult....The first four Dalai Lamas represented only the preparatory stage in the growth of the institution which manifested fully in the Fifth Dalai Lama....Three reincarnate Dalai Lamas died very early, the Ninth dying at the age of just nine....The Thirteenth Dalai Lama, a leader greater than the great, faced the ever gravest challenges posed mainly by Russia, China and Britain designing to grab Tibet.....Dalai Lama represents the continuous flow of the being that the Buddhist tradition identifies as Bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara....In the scheme of this essay a brief account of the historic deeds and the life of His Holiness the Fourteenth Dalai Lama Tenzin Gyatso, the One who benefits the world today with his divine presence, had to be its part."

"Even a little thorn, if extracted carelessly, leads to gangrene."

- Mahabharata Shanti Parva CXL (60)
