Classic images of authentic Tibetan thangka paintings open a sacred doorway into the world of Tibetan Buddhism. This Sacred Images of Tibet 2010 wall calendar features handsomely displayed meditative images of buddhas, goddesses and tantric figures that greet you each month. The paintings are all by master thangka artists living in Kathmandu, Nepal. Each thangka is paired with Tibetan Buddhist teaching text, courtesy of Snow Lion Publications. These images have been used for centuries to awaken and expand consciousness. Your purchase of this calendar helps to support the Tibetan Lama Fund, which is building housing for refugee monks in India, and the Development of Children and Women Center in Kathmandu.

Gorgeous, Lots of Explanation,

This review is from: Sacred Images of Tibet 2012 Wall Calendar (Calendar)
This is a gorgeous calendar of Tibetan thangkas, painted by master artists from Nepal, and including explanatory text of the symbols and deities/buddhas depicted, as well as moon phases in the date portion. I am not quite sure what the prior reviewer saying this should be Rated R is talking about - I guess the tantric images of yab yum (male/female deities in union)? It's true there are some, so if that offends you, don't get this calendar (but I wouldn't think someone offended by that would be interested in a Tibetan Sacred Images calendar anyway!) Part of the proceeds from this go to Tibetan charities, so that is an additional plus.

I have been purchasing this calendar every year for 5 years. The artwork is beautiful; each image is explained; holidays and moon phases are noted...it hangs on the wall next to my computer where I can enjoy its beauty every day!
