Description
'The 8 Auspicious Symbols' is the most famous set of symbols used in Tibetan Buddhism.
NOTE: This same artwork without the yellow frame is also available in my store! As well as a landscape version of these symbols.
The watermark in the lower right corner of the image will not appear on the final print.
This painting was created for the Dalai Lama by Carmen Mensink as a 30ft long red carpet, when he visited her home country the Netherlands in 2018. She was also asked to create similar large paintings for the Dalai Lama for his visits in 2009 and 2014.
The Eight Auspicious Symbols consist of:
1 Parasol
2 Pair of Golden Fishes
3 Treasure Vase
4 Lotus Flower
5 Conch Shell
6 Eternal Knot
7 Victory Banner
8 Dharma Wheel
NOTE: When you make a purchase of $50 or more of this artwork you may contact Carmen and she will send you all information about the meanings of these symbols.
This painting is not for sale as it is still being used to welcome other highly revered Tibetan lamas to the Netherlands.
