Artists traditionally create Buddha Thangkas, which are Tibetan Buddhist paintings. These paintings show Buddha, other important figures, symbols, and scenes, based on Buddhist teachings. In fact, artists usually create such works of art on cloth, using vivid colors and small details, since they consider them sacred in nature.
People use Thangkas for meditation and as visual aids when teaching Buddhist philosophy and spirituality. They can show a range of things, from calm Buddha portraits to complex mandalas. People use each of these for reflection and devotion, and each holds a deep spiritual meaning.
