The Dragon Palace relics are the most precious treasure of Buddhism, originating from the Dragon Palace Cave in the border area of Thailand and Myanmar. It is said that in ancient times, ascetic monks practiced in the cave, and after they passed away, the astral energy of the relics of their bodies and the spiritual energy of the earth and sky were condensed into the spiritual stones in the cave, which evolved over time to form the relics. in March 1998, forest explorers found that the cave was blocked by a large boulder, and after removing the boulder, they found that the walls of the rock layer emitted a strong light, and excavated a round, frosty, white and solid relic. When you hold them in your hands, you can feel the energy emanating from them.  The monks have confirmed that the relics are the "Incarnation of the Dragon's Palace" (Lohan Stone), which is a national treasure of the Thai government. The Dragon Palace Relic Incarnate Buddha has the function of averting evil spirits and auspiciousness, symbolizing good fortune.

<p>The 21st Tara is one of the 21 incarnations of Avalokiteshvara, of which the Red Tara is one. According to the Tara Tantra, Princess Hueyue developed bodhicitta and vowed to take on a female body to benefit all sentient beings and become a Tara. When Avalokiteshvara was saddened by the unabated suffering of the sentient beings, her tears were transformed into lotus blossoms, giving birth to the Green Tara, who vowed to help Avalokiteshvara in the salvation of the sentient beings. Immediately, twenty-one Tara Mothers manifested from the lotus flower and assisted Avalokiteshvara in the realization of the infinite merits and virtues.<br><br>The twenty-one Tirthankaras have different body colors and dharma forms, symbolizing different powers and wisdom. Their main forms are the Ubala green lotus flower in the left hand, the Seal of Giving in the right hand, and the five Buddha images on the crown of the head. The Twenty-One Degrees of Motherhood, widely recited in Tibet, consists of twenty-one verses praising the virtues of the Tara.<br><br>The Twenty-One Degrees of Motherhood subdues demons, removes fear and sin, ensures peace and good fortune, increases happiness and longevity, and opens up wisdom. Whenever a Tibetan family moves, falls ill, or goes out of town, the monks or villagers will be invited to recite the Twenty-One Degrees of Motherhood to pray for the family's well-being and avoid disasters. In monasteries, monks recite this sutra throughout the year. The thangka of the Red Tara is an important collector's item.</p>

<p>In Tibetan Buddhism, the belief in the God of Wealth is very common, mainly including the Yellow God of Wealth, the Black God of Wealth, the White God of Wealth, and the Red God of Wealth. The God of Wealth has two functions: one is to help people to become rich, and the other is to help people to hold on to their wealth so that it will not be dispersed. The God of Wealth is one of the Four Heavenly Kings, and is also the God of Treasure, the guardian of all wealth in the world. He is also known as the King of Treasures because he holds a spitting ferret in his left hand and a precious stone in his right hand, which produces jewels when it is turned. He is golden in color, with two arms on one side, wearing a crown of five Buddhas and gold armor, holding a precious pavilion in his right hand and a spitting ferret in his left hand, and sitting on a white lion in the posture of Bodhisattva Ruyi, radiating like the light of 100,000 rising suns. The King of Wealth and Treasure is the head of the Gods of Wealth, and his subordinates are the Eight Gods of Wealth, representing the eight directions of wealth and unceasing sources of wealth. Those who have received the Dharma Enthronement of the Heavenly King of Fortune, if they pray in front of this deity and diligently recite the mantra and do good deeds for the benefit of the living beings, they will be blessed by the Heavenly King of Fortune and the Eight Gods of Fortune, which will help them to achieve success in their endeavors and satisfy their wishes for wealth.

<p>The Lord of Zedolim is a Buddhist deity who controls and guards cemeteries to prevent ghosts and spirits from trespassing on people's homes. He is the protector of the Kung Fu Mother, and also protects Buddhist disciples practicing in the necropolis, making him an important protector of Buddhism. The Ghotarindu is a terrifying figure, usually in the form of a man and a woman with two skeletons, symbolizing the protectors. The man carries a white bone staff and the woman carries a vase, both of whom are adorned with colorful ribbons and short skirts, and live in a flame of bhakti. The Ghadarins are found in large cemeteries and are not affected by the sun's rays, and are able to move around during the day. They rely on corpse energy to survive and are so powerful that they cannot be harmed by ordinary weapons and can only be subdued by specific weapons such as the Manjushri Sword and the Jyoti Buddha's Mother Sword. The Zedoling Lord is the unshared protector of the Tibetan deity Vajra and is also the God of Wealth. In order to obtain the blessing of the Gedolim Lord, one has to undergo the Gedolim Lord's empowerment, which requires the empowerment of Himalayan Vajra or Theravada Vajra. The Zedoarya is an important object in Tantric Buddhist art.</p>

The old thangka of the corpse grove

屍陀林主老唐卡

<p>A mandala is an ancient diagram used to focus the attention of seekers and practitioners, serve as a spiritual teaching tool, establish a sacred space, and assist in meditation. Tibetan Buddhist mandalas are symbolic maps of the mind, guiding practitioners from mundane, worldly concerns to the enlightened center of consciousness, embodying the primordial cosmic force. Various mandalas correspond to different aspects of enlightenment, such as compassion, wisdom, or power. This particular mandala is for the practice of the Wheel of Time. <br><br>Thangkas are paintings on silk or other fabrics such as hemp or cotton. The term 'thangka' is a transliteration of the Tibetan word, meaning 'scroll painting.' Before creating each Buddha image, certain rituals are performed, including reciting texts, making offerings, giving alms, and performing rituals to consecrate the place, tools, and materials used for the thangka painting. Scriptures and mantras associated with the Buddha image are written on the back of the artwork with gold ink or vermilion, and prayers are made for the depicted deity to bestow wisdom and power upon the new image. The thangka thus receives the blessings of the depicted deity. <br><br>Since the 8th century, when Padmasambhava brought Mahayana Buddhist esoteric teachings to Tibet, many of the images of deities for esoteric practice were created as thangkas. Today, when people refer to thangka art, they naturally think of Buddha images, and thangka Buddha images have become a symbol of esoteric Buddhist teachings. <br><br>The artistic expression of the Wheel of Time Mandala <br>Like many Buddha thangkas, the Wheel of Time Mandala is depicted with stunning artistry, including composition, form, and color, showing its magnificent and grand scale. The main deity, Kalachakra, and the female deity embrace each other in a union, standing on a lotus and sun, moon, and star wheels. Their feet trample upon the great deity and the sky mother, symbolizing the overcoming of various obstacles such as greed, hatred, and ignorance. Above the composition are Shakyamuni Buddha, Green Tara to his left, White Tara to his right, Yellow Wealth Deity in the lower left corner, and Wealth God in the lower right corner, who are protective deities of the Wheel of Time practice. <br><br>Kalachakra is depicted with four faces and twenty-four arms. The main face is blue, the left is white, the right is red, and the back is yellow. Each face has three eyes, with eight white arms, eight red arms, and eight blue arms. The legs are white and red, respectively. The hair is adorned with a vajra, and the body is dressed in heavenly garments and a tiger skin skirt, adorned with all the jewels and ornaments of the Buddha’s body, making it exceptionally beautiful. The hands hold various items: from top to bottom on the left, a four-faced Brahma head, hook, mirror, white conch, lotus, Mani jewel, rope, bow, skull staff, shield, vajra bell; on the right, a copper axe, jewel staff, spear, Dharma wheel, bell, drum, mace, arrow, cymbals, trident, and sword. <br><br>The four faces of the female deity are middle yellow, left red, right white, and back blue, each with three eyes. The left four arms hold a skull cup, rope, white conch, and Mani jewel; the right four arms hold cymbals, mace, drum, and jewel. The Kalachakra’s appearance has a dynamic sense of rotating and flashing beyond time and space. The thangka conveys the purity and harmony of life through the sacred and transcendent nature of Buddhism, reflecting the Buddhist sentiment and aesthetic pleasure, and fully expressing the spirit of the Wheel of Time. <br><br>Transmission and Thought of the Wheel of Time <br>The Wheel of Time originated from Shakyamuni Buddha's secret teachings in the form of the 12,000 verses of the "Wheel of Time Root Tantra," which were recorded by King Sktal Kha of the Uddiyana (Shambhala) and brought back to Shambhala, where it was transmitted sequentially. In the later period of Indian Mahayana esoteric Buddhism, the Wheel of Time teachings spread widely throughout India, and subsequent commentators further explained and annotated the "Wheel of Time Root Tantra," producing a systematized and richly endowed teaching of the Wheel of Time. <br><br>During the 11th century, the Indian yogi Dharmadhara arrived in Shambhala and brought back the "Wheel of Time Root Tantra" and other texts to India, becoming the first generation of transmitters in India. Dharmadhara transmitted to his son, Dharmadhara Khonpa, and Dharmadhara Khonpa transmitted to his son, Padmasambhava. Padmasambhava transmitted to Khyenrab Chökyi Gyaltsen, who was the founder of the Kagyu school and passed it down through generations. <br><br>During the transmission of the Wheel of Time teachings from India to Tibet, over twenty translators translated the texts. Among them, the translations by the translators Drakpa and Khotse were the most complete. The two translations became known as the Drakpa and Khotse schools, respectively. The Drakpa school inherited the practical lineage, while the Khotse school inherited the scholarly (commentary) lineage. The translation by Drakpa Chökyi Gyaltsen was included in the Tibetan Canon, and the versions translated by Indian scholars were passed down through various Tibetan Buddhist sects, becoming a major practice in Tibetan Buddhism, practiced across Tibetan regions.</span>​<br></p>

<p>The four-armed Guanyin Tonka was painted in the 15th century and is based on the work of a Tibetan king who was closed down for more than 450 years. Guanyin incarnated as the four-armed Guanyin, is the guardian deity of Tibet. From old to young families, Tibetans recite their six-word mantra: “Hum, hum, hum.” The vast majority of Tibetan Buddhists also worship the Dalai Lama as the Kannon, the four-armed Guanyin Kyūmu Bodhāsa and the Kongō Bodhāsa, which together represent great sorrow, great wisdom, and power, and are the pillars that must be taught to those who travel closely.</p><p>The four arms of the four arms of Guanyin represent the four types of Buddha.

<p>Human Bone Dharma Vessels are Tibetan Buddhist Dharma Vessels made of human bones, skin and hair, mainly used in Tantric practice to remind practitioners of the impermanence of life and death and to focus on the Dharma. The raw materials for the human bone artifacts come from people with high level of cultivation, and they donate their bones for cultivation after their death. After burial in Tibet, the remaining bones are used to make human bone artifacts, such as human bone horns (tibia horns), human bone robes, human skin tambourines, and gabala bowls.<br><br>Human bone artifacts are beautifully crafted, often embedded with auspicious totems and gemstones, and are prized by practitioners and collectors alike. For example, human bone robes are made from more than 400 brow bones, and gabala bowls are made from skulls, which are believed to symbolize great compassion and emptiness. Human bone rosaries are made from finger and eyebrow bones, and can take more than ten years or even hundreds of years to produce.<br><br>These instruments are not only tools for practice, but also symbolize dedication and compassion, reminding the practitioner to keep his/her heart in the right place and to drive away evil spirits. Tibetan Tantric Buddhism demonstrates its deep religious tradition and craftsmanship with its unique human bone artifacts and magical practices.</p>

<p>Having two cats at home has made them as important as family members. When I was young, I often heard that elders had many rumors and prejudices about cats, saying that cats are very sinister animals, or strange cats with nine lives, etc.... But in fact, it is also related to their strong healing ability, or their ability to jump from heights without getting hurt easily. There are many wild cats near the studio, one of them is a bit slow to react, often bullied by other cats and even wild dogs, and it is already a daily routine for him to have scars all over his body. I once took him to the doctor, and after taking care of him for nearly a month, I released him, but I never thought that when I saw him again a couple of days later, he was still covered with scars all over his body, and he even had new wounds, but he was still running around after he had had enough to eat and was still playing with his companions. Therefore, in terms of deification, I symbolize this work as "life", just like what the elders call the cat with nine lives, which has the power of perseverance and vitality.</p>

<p>"Gawu" is the Tibetan translation for a box containing a protective image of the Buddha. The box often contains a small Buddha statue, sutras, relics, nectar pills, hair of the living Buddha or pieces of clothing, which are used to protect the body, minimize karmic obstacles and increase cultivation. Gawu are often made of gold, silver or copper, square for men and round for women, and are hung on the chest for protection and decoration. Inside, there are Buddha statues or talismans, which are essential accessories for Tibetan women. The "rubbing" is a kind of molded clay Buddha or clay pagoda, which is mostly used for accumulating good karma and virtues, and eliminating disasters and praying for blessings. It can be placed in temples, grottoes, mani piles, or placed in the gawu to be worn on the person, which is convenient for meditation and salutations. In ancient times, Tibetan officials of the fourth rank or above would wear a gawu with a rubbing in their hair braids as a sign of official rank. Tibetan Buddhism emphasizes the art of statue making, and the skill of statue making is one of the "craftsmanship" that monks must learn. Since the introduction of miniature sculpture rubbings into Tibet in the 5th century, they have played an important role in the propagation of the Buddha's teachings. The continuous refinement of casting and carving techniques has resulted in the precise modeling and richness of the rubbings.</p>

<p>Old Japanese incense burners are age-old pieces of craftsmanship made of pure copper that have both practical and artistic value. In traditional Japanese culture, incense burners play an important role in the fusion of art, meditation and ritual. Kōdō consists of two elements: smelling incense and assembling incense, and the main schools are the Gōka-ryū and Shino-ryū.  Incense burners (smokers) are used to burn spices and have spiritual and religious connotations. Hand burners are small incense burners, mostly round, square, hexagonal, etc., with openwork carvings of auspicious motifs on their surfaces, and are mostly made of brass or white copper. Incense Ceremony, like Flower Ceremony and Tea Ceremony, originated in China and later developed into a unique culture in Japan. Originally founded by Mitsutaka Sanjo Nishi and later developed by Soshinobu Shino, the main schools of incense are the Sanryu and Shino schools.  Today, the culture of incense is being lost in Japan, and the successor of the Shino school, Sogen Hibiya, is dedicated to promoting the culture worldwide. This vintage incense burner not only highlights the connection between Japanese incense and Chinese culture, but also has cultural preservation value and is a great addition to any antique art lover's collection. The practice of incense can purify the space, achieve the purpose of mindfulness, and pray for all sentient beings to be purified of disasters, blessings and wisdom.</p>
