Thangka Painting
 Despite a few elbows to the face,
Tsering pushed through the broil of
Tibetan worshippers and lifted her
bawling two-year-old over the mad
crush, briefly pressing the girl’s
forehead to a passing sacred scroll.
 Scores of monks and men heaved the
enormous thangka — an image of
Buddha painted on silk, rolled up in a
tight cylinder while in transit — through
the packed streets around Rongwo
Monastery in China’s northwestern
province of Qinghai for a religious ritual
wrapping up of Losar, the Tibetan new
year.
Monastic Song
o The song is accompanied by music played
by monks using traditional Tibetan musical
instruments.
o The dances often offer moral instruction
relating to karuṇā (compassion) for sentient
beings and are held to bring merit to all who
perceive them.
o Chams are considered a form of meditation
and an offering to the gods.
