Butter lamps by David Reid
This woman tends the butter lamps at the Jokhang Temple, Lhasa, Tibet 2008. Peering through a small window I saw this woman surrounded by butter lamps. She stopped for only a split second and looked directly at me before continuing with her work – so no time to adjust the camera settings. The room is lit almost entirely by the light of the butter lamps. Taken with natural light – no fill-in flash. Canon EOS 5D, 70-200 f2.8 IS lens

Sound of Tibet, Sound of Freedom by Ghelly
Feb 09- This work has been featured in the group: Himalaya Singing bowls (also known as ‘Himalayan bowls’ or ‘rin’ or suzu gongs in Japan) are a type of bell, specifically classified as a standing bell. Rather than hanging inverted or attached to a handle, standing bells sit with the bottom surface resting. The sides and rim of singing bowls vibrate to produce sound. Singing bowls were traditionally used throughout Asia as part of Bön and Tantric Buddhist sadhana. Today they are employed worldwide both within and without these spiritual traditions, for meditation, relaxation, healthcare, personal well-being and religious practice. source: Wikipedia

Everest - Mother Goddess of the Earth by jacqi
Mount Everest, peak, 29,035 ft (8,850 m) high, on the border of Tibet and Nepal, in the central Himalayas is the highest elevation in the world. Called Chomolungma or Qomolangma [Mother Goddess of the Land] by Tibetans and Sagarmatha [head of the sea] by Nepalis, it is named in English for the surveyor Sir George Everest. It was first climbed on May 28, 1953, when Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay of Nepal reached the summit. The body of George H. L. Mallory, who died in an earlier attempt in 1924, was found on the mountain in 1999 and it will never be known whether or not he reached the summit and died on the way down photographed 02-11-2009 on the Buddha Air flight along the Himalaya range / /

Vajrasattva ~ near Tengboche, Nepal. by Richard Stanley
Vajrasattva practices are common to all of the four schools of Tibetan Buddhism and are used both to purify obscurations so that the Vajrayana student can progress beyond basic practices to the various yoga practices of tantra and also to purify any broken samaya vows after initiation. As such, Vajrasattva practice is an essential element of Tibetan Buddhist practice. In Tibetan Vajrayana Buddhist practice, Vajrasattva is used in the Ngondro, or preliminary practices, in order to “purify” the mind’s afflictions, prior to undertaking more advanced tantric techniques. The practitioner recites the hundred syllable mantra, part of which is visible here, while visualizing Vajrasattva, one hundred and eight thousand times (108,000) Vajrasattva is white, with one face and two hands and resembles a youth of 16. Half of his long wavy black hair is gathered on top of his head, the rest curls down his back and around his shoulders. He is seated on a moon disc on a white lotus with his torso gracefully curved to our left in the dancer’s pose. His legs are crossed in the vajra position. In his right hand he holds a gold vajra to his heart and in his left, at his hip he holds a silent, ie. upturned, bell. He is lavishly dressed in fine green and red silk garments and is richly adorned with gold and jewels as befits a prince—with crown, hair ornaments, earrings, bracelets, 3 necklaces, anklets, etc. His face is gentle, and luminescent. The whole radiates as a rainbow.
