Thangka

One way the knowledge of Bon Sutra, Tantra and Dzogchen is preserved and passed on is through the medium of sacred Tibetan art, such as statues and thangkas. Thangkas may depict peaceful, semi-wrathful & wrathful deities, Yidams (tutelary deities), Sungmas (protector deities), Lamas, and Dakinis, and some may also tell a story. They contain deep symbolism and serve several functions. As teaching tools, they preserve the knowledge and history of the Enlightened Ones, Deities, lineages and important Lamas. The brilliant images and colors in a thangka are treasured as living manifestations of the Nature of Mind and Enlightened consciousness. Most importantly, a thangka is a sacred devotional image, used in ritual, ceremony, and meditation, and can transform knowledge into the actual experience of insight. One can sit in front of a thangka to calm the mind, to offer prayers, recite mantras, or to use as a guide when practicing transforming oneself into a deity. Thangka images inspire visualization, open the heart, and nourish body, speech and mind, by directly expressing the qualities of realization. Bon Lamas and practitioners have used these precious images for over 18,000 years to help them travel the spiritual path of compassion and wisdom.
