The Embodiment of Infinite Compassion and Universal Peace

Ethical Guardianship & Care
As the caretaker of this sacred piece, we recommend the following to ensure its preservation:
-
Respectful Handling: Treat the Thangka as a living spiritual object rather than a mere commodity.
-
Climate Control: Keep the painting away from direct sunlight, high humidity, and smoke to protect the delicate mineral pigments.
-
Breathable Storage: If storing the Thangka, wrap it in a clean, white cotton cloth. Avoid using plastic bags, as they can trap moisture and damage the hand-painted surface.
