Garuda
Wood Carvings
Garuda Wood
Carvings. Tibetan wood carver creates sacred Tibetan art, such as altars,
meditation tables and incense burners
The
Buddhist tradition is something very special in the modern world. Tibetan
sacred art takes us to profound levels in this vast knowledge, since the
visualisation of Buddhist deities is very essential in meditation. This is
why we at Tibet Shop (based in Finland) are interested in selling top
quality thangkas and statues. For the unfortunate political reasons, this
sacred art is not available in Tibet. Our collection comes mostly from
Tibetan, Nepalese and Bhutanese artists in Nepal. We wish it will bring
happines to all, who find joy in the Buddha's teachings, future buddhas.
Just thought that you might be interested in listing our web shop - www.tibetandawn.co.uk. We promote Tibetan arts & handicrafts made by Tibetan Refugees in India . We also sell Indian handicrafts.
