Buddhism is a medicine, the antidote to suffering. Tibetan art (thangka painting ) is the visual vehicle of that medicine. Thongdrol in Tibetan means "liberation by sight".
All of our senses have the possibility of bringing liberation, this site is devoted to Tibetan traditional art and other contemporary art forms developed from Tibet's art.
These include: Tibet projects, silk applique thangkas, thangka painting, Thangka Prints, Tibetan iconography, Documentary Film, and the artworks of Terris and Leslie Nguyen Temple, the artists to Tsurphu Monastery, and His Holiness the Karmapa since 1992.
Projects
Several Tibetan projects are included here, the Tsurphu Tsechur Drabje project combined with a project to train young women in advanced traditional Tibetan applique techniques using the master tailors of the White Conch Factory team as instructors. A proposal ( Tsechur Drabje Project ) can be found in the Tsurphu menu section.
Film
A documentry film project called Thongdrol ( Liberation by sight ) pdf file is located under the Film menu section. The film is about the making of Tsurphu's giant applique thangkas and the Karma Gadri School of thangka painting.
