A Tibetan community supports a School of artists for Thangka painting. A Thangka is an expression of religious truths, not an opportunity for artistic license. There are 4 main genres of Thangka: the Wheel of Life, Buddha's Life Story, Mandala, and Thangkas depiciting tantric deities, either benign or menancing. |
