Thangka paintings

Thangka paintings are traditionally not valued for their artistic beauty, but the primary use of the Thangka is to aid in meditational practices. Practitioners use thangkas to generate a clear visualization of a specific deity, increase their concentrations and to form the link between themselves to the diety. Historically, thangkas are also used as teaching tools. The Teacher, also known as Lama Mani would travel to teach on Dharma, and life of great masters. He would carry a large Thangka scroll to illustrate the stories and teaching.
