 Buddhist painting Tibetan whose origin goes up around the 6th century. Gone up on silk brocart comprising the crowned colors and that one can roll, it always rectangular and is presented in the direction height. One finds it normally protected from the light by a veil. Realized according to rules very strict, the cotton surface is initially covered with chalk and of adhesive to what one applies the colors using copies. Being used as visual aids for the meditation with residence or in the monasteries, the thangkas can represent a mandala, a divinity or the Pantheon of divinities, sometimes even a calendar or an anatomical board.
There are then two types of thangka. That which "was activated" by the monk, or the LAMA who carried it out, and others. Those which were activated are marked with the back by the writing of one will mantra, and the affixing of the print of the hand of the wise one.
These parts being more powerful, it is not recommended to use them with light, or to make use of it as a simple decoration of interior. |
