Thangka

noreply@blogger.com (Amidiu) — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 11:35:00 +0000

thangka is a complicated, composite three-dimensional object consisting of: a picture panel which is painted or embroidered, a textile mounting; and one or more of the following: a silk cover, leather corners, wooden dowels at the top and bottom and metal or wooden decorative knobs on the bottom dowel.

Originally, thangka painting became popular among traveling monks because the scroll paintings were easily rolled and transported from monastery to monastery. These thangka served as important teaching tools depicting the life of the Buddha, various influential lamas and other deities and Bodhisattva. One popular subject is The Wheel of Life, which is a visual representation of the Abhidharma teachings (Art of Enlightenment).

While regarded by some as colorful wall hangings, to Buddhists, these Tibetan religious paintings offer a beauty, believed to be a manifestation of the divine, and are thus visually stimulating.

Being a Guest of hospitable Tibetans

noreply@blogger.com (Amidiu) — Fri, 18 May 2007 12:05:00 +0000

Being a Guest of hospitable Tibetans

Since you come to Tibet, you have already been a guest, or maybe a friend to The local people.

More than 95% of the people in Tibet speak Tibetan languages. There are 3 main dialects respected in Lhasa & Shigates districts, northern Tibet and east Tibet. Many of them can speak fluent Mandarin. Some of the staffs, businessmen, students and monks speak English and they'd like to talk with foreign tourists in English.

Tibetans are hospitable and friendly. To make friends with them, you should know that Smoking in Tibetan Buddhism monasteries is strictly banned. It is not allowed to touch the statues of Buddha and religious articles or take pictures of them. In addition, everybody should walk clockwise around monasteries or other religious objects like pagodas, Mani-stone piles, incense-burners, etc.

Eagles are sacred birds in the mind of Tibetan people. And also the sheep or cows with red color or colored strips on their body are considered as sacred animals. It is forbidden to disturb them or do harm on them.

It is a courtesy that when Tibetan people meeting and greeting to you, they will put their hands palm to palm in front of chest and stretch out their tongue to show their respects to you. You may put your hands in front of your chest and say "Tashidele" (good luck) to them.
Toasting
When Tibetan people present you a cup of wine, you should dip your ring finger in the wine and flick the wine to the sky, in the air and to the ground respectively to express your respects to the heaven, the earth and the ancestors before sipping the wine. Then the host will fill the cup, and you take a sip of the wine again. After the host fills your cup three times, you will take the whole cup of the wine.
Diet Habits
The main food and meat in Tibet are highland barley, beef and mutton. Tibetan people never eat horse meat, dog meat and donkey meat. In some areas in Tibet, people do not eat fish, either.

How to Take Care of your Thangka

noreply@blogger.com (Amidiu) — Fri, 18 May 2007 12:00:00 +0000

How to Take Care of your Thangka

For those of you who own a thangka, a few suggestions may help you in preserving it. You can care for your thangka as a museum cares for its thangkas.

Resist the temptation to clean your thangka. The traditional offerings of butter lamps and incense smoke form an insoluble mixture that deeply penetrates and darkens the painting. Since this is not just on the surface, attempts at cleaning will cause thangka paintings to have a stripped look. Too often these days, the fine, elegant details on faces, brocades, and landscapes too often get stripped away permanently by cleaning.

*Over-cleaned Painting

From a scientific, museum standards point of view, frequent rolling and unrolling of your thangka is the singularly most harmful thing you can do. Although thangkas traditionally are rolled and unrolled, these actions compress the delicate paint layers and the layer of chalk/hide glue they rest on. The paint layers can crack and flake off. The textile mountings that the painted cloth is sewn onto and the cover of the thangka rub up against and abrade the paint layers during rolling and while rolled up. Rolling also creases the cotton or silk cloth onto which the thangka was originally painted, and the cloth itself can crease and split, causing further paint loss. Rolling and unrolling causes the traditional textile mountings to tear as well. Older mountings are often made of a blue silk with characteristically weak warp threads.

*Painting Damaged from Rolling and Unrolling.

You can transport your thangka as a museum does. Thangkas can be transported and stored lying flat on an archival-quality supporting board, available at most art supply stores. It is best to hang your thangka up and then not move or handle it after that.

Do not pull on your thangka to try to adjust its shape. Some dimensional changes are expected. Cotton and silk swell and contract with changes in temperature and relative humidity. The cloth it is painted on and the textile mounting will expand and contract at different rates, causing some unevenness in the fit. This will happen, but if you pull on it to flatten it, you can tear the thangka and cause paint loss.

Hang the thangka out of direct sunlight, and not over a heating or air conditioning element. Even a bright spotlight on it can direct heat towards it in a harmful way. In addition to the heat of many light sources, both the intensity of the light and the ultraviolet content of the light cause irreparable damage to thangkas. This is true whether your thangka has its traditional silk mounting, or is framed in a Western-style frame behind glass.

If you have questions or concerns about caring for your thangka, we will be glad to help you!

Tibet Butter Oil Tea

noreply@blogger.com (Amidiu) — Fri, 18 May 2007 11:43:00 +0000

Tibet Butter Oil Tea

The butter oil tea is the necessary drinking in Tibetans' daily life just like coffee to the westerners!

To the Tibetans, tea is a beverage that is just like coffee to the westerners -- a wake-up and a shake-up drink that keeps almost everyone sound and safe.

In Tibet no meal can be complete without some tea, almost all the time the Tibetan buttered tea.

Town folks prefer to go to a tea house before going to work for the rest of their day. Tea houses sometimes stand as alternative places to find the ones who are otherwise expected in their workplace in the morning and in the early afternoon.

The Tibetan buttered tea is prepared by mixing butter and salt with the juice from fully boiled fermented tea leaves. Before serving, the mixture has to be further blended in a special blender.

More often than not, a slim wooden cylinder is used for the blending. After the mixture is put in the cylinder, a piston is used to push and pull inside the cylinder. With the passing of the mixture through the slit between the piston and the cylinder, the mixture of butter, salt and tea is forcefully and thoroughly blended.

In Tibet, tea, either sweet tea or Tibetan buttered tea, is served in small or large thermo flasks, in that both are of their best smack when served hot.

The local habit of drinking tea has to do with the local food composition. The Tibetans eat lots of meat of yak and goat. The strong buttered tea not only helps to keep the body warm but also helps to promote the digestion of the meat that is taken almost three meals a day and 365 days a year.

Local sayings have it that the others cannot do without salt whereas the Tibetans cannot do without either salt or tea.

A brief introduction to Tibetan garments

noreply@blogger.com (Amidiu) — Thu, 12 Oct 2006 07:56:00 +0000

These vary in materials and techniques in different places, but the style is almost same. Generally, Tibetan garments include robes, ordinary clothes and shirts .

The Tibetan robe is the most commonly seen garment with buttons on the right side. The male style is wide and has sleeves, while the female's style is slightly narrower, with or without sleeves. Urban residents like to use high-grade woolen fabrics, people in agricultural areas use Pulu, and in animal husbandry flourishing areas choose furs to make Tibetan robes. As it is long, it is worn with a waist belt. People only put their left arm in the sleeve when it is hot.

The shirt also has a right-button style. The men's style is mostly in white and has a high collar with buttons, while the women's style is in various colors, with turndown collar but without buttons. In addition, the women's sleeve is 40cm longer than the shirt. Usually the sleeve is rolled up and down when dancing.

Loose and big, the robe is usually longer than one's height. It is somewhat complex to put on and even wear the robe. The man gets into it, holds the robe high, lets the lap drop down the knees, and ties the girdle around the waist. He will only use one left sleeve, and the right arm is exposed out of the robe for farm work convenience. On hot days, they expose both arms and pull the upper clothes down to the waist. Wearing the robe in this manner makes, a man even more handsome.

Origin of butter sculptures

noreply@blogger.com (Amidiu) — Tue, 29 Aug 2006 10:18:00 +0000

Origin of butter sculptures

In 641, when Princess Wencheng of the Tang Dynasty (618-907) went to Tibet to marry the king of the Tubo Kingdom (629-846), Songtsan Gambo, she brought along a sculpture of Sakyamuni (Buddhist founder), which was later enshrined and worshipped at the Jokhang Temple.

To show their respect, the Tibetans presented offerings in front of the Buddha. According to the traditional customs observed in India, offerings to Buddha and Bodhisattvas were divided into six categories: the flower, Tu incense, divine water, Wa incense, fruit, and the Buddha light. By that time, however, all of the flowers and trees had died, so the Tibetans made a bundle of flowers from butter instead.

Butter sculptures are a kind of butter-molded craftwork where the major raw material is butter, a creamy food among the Tibetans in China. The solid material, which is soft and pure with a faint scent, can be molded into vivid, bright, and exquisite craftworks.

In the beginning, butter sculptures were simple and the techniques were rough. Later, two institutions were set up in the Taer Monastery to train monk artists specializing in this art. With a passion for Buddha and the arts, the monks worked hard and learned from each other to overcome their own weaknesses, thus enriching the art in terms of pattern and content.
