Silk applique thangka is a highly renowned form of Tibetan Buddhist art.

Monasteries, practitioners and individuals buy this style of thangka for the beauty, quality and deep meaning of the art form.

Traditionally silk thangkas are held in high esteem due to the time consuming nature of hand stitching and embroidery, they are versatile and not subject to deterioration such as occurs with the painting thangkas.

This Tsongkhapa thangka travels well and looks stunning in any setting.

This is the result of my skill, patience, concentration and dedication and is an exquisite hand stitched work of sacred art.

About Tsongkhapa:

Tsongkhapa is the founder of the Gelukpa school and is the central figure in their Refuge Tree.

He is dressed as a monk and wears the yellow pandita hat this lineage has become associated with. After studying with a reported forty five masters, he founded the Gelukpa school in 1409 that emphasized monastic discipline.

One of his students, Gedundrup was retrospectively recognized as the first Dalai Lama, an emanation of Avalokitesvara. The fifth Dalai Lama consolidated Tibet politically and spiritually and became its leader.

Tsongkhapa is an emanation of Manjusri and he is often depicted with Shakyamuni Buddha in his heart. The Gelukpa Order has the greatest number of adherents of any of the lineages.
