Before leaving Kathmandu I invested in a couple of Thangkas for my collection.
This first is the 'Wheel of Existence'.
Yama, Lord of Death and Time, holds up a mirror in which can be seen all the possibilities for our life and future lives. Scary stuff this - but we have choices!
Careful, or Karma will come round and bite you on the backside.
Rather more tranquil is the Buddha Thangka where Buddha sits at the centre of a traditional Tibetan mandala surrounded by protective deities, including White and Green Tara..
