Tsakali & Miniature Thangkas
|
Tsakli or tsakali are miniature paintings in the Tibetan tradition on card or cloth. Sets of tsakli are sed in evocation rites to initiate novices, and also in the performance of certain rituals such as those associated with the Bardo, or After Death Realms.
They were of small size to allow a lama to carry a relatively large number of images or icons from monastery to monastery, or to the homes of those in need of the performance of a ritual for their spiritual guidance or comfort. Tsakli sometimes have text written in Tibetan to the reverse side. |
