Your first chance to see the gigantic 21 Taras Thangka is at White Night Melbourne! Comissioned by Lama Zopa Rinpoche and taking Iseli four years to complete it, features 21 Taras with a gigantic green Tara in the centre. Each of the 21 Taras have a special power to help us achieve prosperity, protection and harmony.
The 21 Taras Thangka presents ancient sacred geometry that quiets the mind just by looking at it. Images of deities are a valuable tool for those of us who find meditation difficult! Gaze at beauty, strength and fearlessness. Take a shortcut to a calm mind in an agitated world. Rinpoche says it will bless animals and humans, so it is open to anyone of any belief or any way of life.
