Commissioning or buying a thangka drawing
Carmen can make you a drawing on commission. Any size is welcome and will be drawn in consultation with you (including special dedications & blessings on the back) making it a very personal thangka drawing. Traditionally, by commissioning a thangka, you will ‘bring the Buddha alive‘ which, according to Tibetan-Buddhism, brings on very positive karma and stabilizes your connection with the Buddha and the path to enlightenment, in this life and in future lives.
