Buddhists need an object when worshiping, especially family missionaries. They need a family support image that can be "contemplated with the heart", so they adapt to the needs of the masses and produce a new variety - "Tang Card". Thangka played a great role in the spread of Buddhism.
Thangka has become an art form of Tibetan painting, thanks to the careful creation of Tibetan artists.
Legend has it that when Master Tsongkhapa, the founder of the Gelug Sect, entered Tibet, the locals asked him to leave some instructions. The master said that you don’t have enough brains to study the scriptures. If I give you a pen, just learn to paint. Later, everyone really knew how to draw. Local people say that this is the means of livelihood and spiritual wealth left to them by Master Tsongkhapa.
Tsa Tsa is a small demolded Buddha statue or small pagoda made of clay. The big one is one foot long and is mounted on the temple wall.
There are classic records: After the death of Milarepa’s mother, Milarepa made Tsa Tsa from her ashes and mud. The most precious Tsa Tsa is often made with the remains and ashes of masters, and is placed in the pagodas of many Tibetan Buddhist temples.
Tibetan opera is the crystallization of the cultural wisdom of the Tibetan people for thousands of years. It originated more than 600 years ago and is known as the "living fossil" of Tibetan culture.
Music, art (masks), dance, etc. are used to express literary content. The stories performed in the early days were all Buddhist stories. Later, they developed, but they are still inseparable from Buddhist connotations.
