the tranformative power of spiritual art
Spectacularly set on a steep mountain in the Himalayas
and founded in the 10th century, Lamayuru monastery is the oldest spiritual
centre of Ladakh in Northern India. Although mostly in ruins with only a
few buildings remaining beside the main assembly hall (Dukhang), it is still
unsurpassed in the sheer grandeur of its wood carvings, statues and frescoes.
The Dukhang was redecorated in 1970 with paintings depicting guardian divinities,
and symbolism varying from the benign to wrathful to serene. The Tibetan
Buddhist attitude to spiritual art is that it has an inherent power to help
the viewer come to self-realisation by inviting contemplation of those aspects
of our being which usually remain hidden.
Our journal covers pay homage to the Tibetan love of exuberant decoration
with the signature turquoise blue and coral red colours exquisitely embellished
with gold. These midi traveller journals include ribbon page markers, memento
pouches and an elastic end-leaf enclosure.
