Description

Poster-sized reproductions of classical paintings produced to the highest standards. Wisdom’s Tibetan Art Calendar is an annual favorite.


The antique scroll-art masterpieces seen in Wisdom’s Tibetan Art Calendar 2014 are called thangkas. While the thangka is common to Tibetan Buddhists, its finest examples are highly sought-after in the international art community and have become hot properties in the same vein as Oriental rugs and ceramics. As a result, the best of these works are seldom, if ever, available for public viewing.


This is why Wisdom’s Tibetan Art Calendar is so special. It's an affordable way to enjoy incredibly rare and meaningful works of sacred art, year-round. These thirteen sacred paintings by Tibet’s master painters represent a variety of classical images, mandalas, deities, and icons. Each poster-sized picture is produced to the highest German printing standards, and is suitable for framing. Complete with in-depth explanations of their cultural and philosophical significance, these exquisite fine art reproductions will be treasured for years to come.


Images included in the 2014 calendar are:



  • The Paradise of Buddha Amitabha

  • The Paradise of the Medicine Buddha

  • Avalokiteshvara in the Tradition of the Nun Lakshmi

  • Padmasambhava as Dorje Drölö

  • King Ralpachen
