We have tried to reproduce the colours but much is lost over the web.Tibetan art is the visual and symbolic interpretation of the Buddha's teachings and philosophy. Imagery is used to guide and support an individual's spiritual progress.he art is functional, never signed and the strict ethos is on accuracy and intricacy, allowing the traditional rules of iconometry to ensure spiritually beneficial images are created. As such the true techniques take years to master and a lifetime to perfect. Images are considered receptacles of the divine and treated with the utmost respect. STATUES & SCULPTURES: All  our of statues and sculptures have been individually selected for their art, ascetic appearance and quality. We have these items in Buddhist Brass statues, Buddhist Bronze statues, Buddhist Copper statues, Buddhist wood statues, Buddhist stone statues and Buddhist marble statues. About one hundred and fifty years after the Buddha's death and contrary to his wishes, statues depicting him began to appear in Asian countries. The Buddha had always encouraged his disciples to "be a lamp unto themselves" and not look outside for figures to worship. But, perhaps due to the influence of Greek statuary and, later, the devotional tenor of Mahayana Buddhism, Indian Buddhists began to create representations, not only of Shakyamuni Buddha, but also of a host of other Buddha's and bodhisattvas, each withhis or her own virtues or powers. In Buddhist iconography each Buddha is depicted with a characteristic mudra. The Sanskrit "mudra" literally means "seal" or "sign" and it identifies specific gestures associated with different aspects of the Buddhist teachings. In the Mahayana (Great Vehicle) and Vajrayana (Diamond Vehicle) schools of Buddhism, mudras accompany the performance of liturgy and the recitation of mantras. They also help to establish or bring into being certain inner states by anticipating their physical expression. In this way, the dhyani or cosmic mudra used in zazen brings about the focus and inner stillness needed to sit in long periods of meditation. Other mudras include the Anjali mudra or gassho, to express "suchness" or the nonduality inherent in the realm of differences, and the vitarka mudra, a teaching mudra most commonly used in statues of Amitabha Buddha. PUBLICATIONS & BOOKS: All  of our Publications and Books have been individually selected for inclusion in our shop.
