Our Commitment

Our products are crafted in workshops run by artisans who are the custodians of intangible cultural heritage. Our apprenticeship-based training system ensures fair remuneration, re-employment opportunities, a focus on female recruitment, and the creation of economic and social opportunities.
Our environmental practices are also intentional. We use eco-friendly, natural, and non-toxic mineral pigments, along with pure copper, pure silver, or titanium steel, even gold-plated Gahua Thankga boxes. We meticulously select natural fibres that are handwoven into cords, adorned with natural jade beads, and paired with minimalist recycled packaging. We are committed to maintaining our products in accordance with tradition, history, nature and environmental considerations, while reducing our impact at every stage of the process.

Ritual and Discipline in Thangka Creation

Every Thangka is more than art—it is a sacred process. Our Thangka masters follow time-honored rituals rooted in Tibetan Buddhist tradition. Before painting begins, practitioners perform purification rites, recite mantras, and enter a meditative state to align mind and intention.
Each composition follows strict canonical proportions and guidelines passed down through generations. From the first brushstroke to the final blessing, the process is governed by reverence, silence, and spiritual discipline. This ritual-based creation ensures that every Thangka not only represents divine imagery, but also carries the energy of devotion and lineage.

Ritual Discipline in Cloisonné Enamel Painting

Cloisonné enamel painting is a meditative art form rooted in centuries of spiritual and cultural tradition. In our process, each piece begins with a quiet moment of intention, as the artist honors the image's symbolic meaning before drawing the first line.

Thin metal wires are hand-shaped to form sacred outlines. Natural mineral pigments are applied with care, layer by layer, following traditional iconography and proportions.

This fire-free method preserves color purity and allows the artist’s hand to remain fully present in the process. The result is a refined, spiritually grounded artwork—rich in tradition and energy.

Blessing and Empowerment of the Product

Each finished piece undergoes a traditional blessing ceremony in a Tibetan Buddhist temple.
Monks perform sacred rituals—such as mantra chanting, incense purification, and symbolic offerings—to spiritually empower the item. This process infuses the piece with its intended purpose: protection, clarity, harmony, or abundance.
The blessing is not merely symbolic; it is an essential part of completion. Only after this empowerment is the product considered whole—carrying authentic spiritual energy rooted in lineage, intention, and devotion.

One Piece, One Offering

In the Tibetan Buddhist tradition, generosity and merit go hand in hand. Supporting monastic communities is considered a sacred act that generates blessings and clears obstacles.
In this spirit, for every piece sold, our workshop donates a merit offering to a temple on behalf of the customer.
These donations support daily monastic life, dharma practice, and the preservation of sacred spaces. It means that each item you receive is not only spiritually empowered—but also part of a living act of compassion.
Your purchase becomes a link in a circle of giving, grace, and returning energy.

Preserving Heritage, Training the Next Generation

As guardians of traditional craftsmanship, we believe that cultural heritage is not only something to remember—it is something to pass on.
Our workshop regularly offers free training programs for younger generations, focusing on sacred techniques such as Thangka painting, cloisonné wirework, and natural pigment preparation. All instruction follows the original lineage-based methods to ensure authenticity in both technique and spirit.
We uphold the principle of precision in craft, purity in method, and reverence in teaching. Through a mentor-apprentice approach, we pass on not only skills—but also the mindset of care and devotion.
These trainings are offered at no cost to those who are sincerely dedicated to the preservation of sacred art. This is our way of keeping a living tradition alive.
