Can the thangka be hung at home for decoration? What are the taboos?

2021/08/2413:05:06 buddhism 1774

Yesterday, a senior brother asked me in the backstage, "I have asked for a mandala at your house, but can you hang Thangka casually?".

Intangible cultural heritage-thangka can not only be used as a collection to wait for appreciation, can also be hung in the home as an art decoration . Let’s take a look at the effect of placing the thangka in the living room first~

The place where you hang the thangka should be a quieter or higher position, such as the study room or the living room. The position and so on.

Mandala Thangkas are suitable to be placed in the hallway , which can better play the role of avoiding evil and praying for the town house. Buddha-like thangkas are suitable to be placed in the living room, study, etc. . If there is a Buddhist hall in your home, you can hang the thangka on top of the Buddha image for easy use for worship. In fact, you can place thangkas in the study, office, and restaurant.

If you really don’t know where to hang it, you can choose to place it where the first ray of sun shines in the morning. Note that the thangka cannot be exposed to the sun. After the thangka is exposed to the sun, the cotton cloth will swell, causing the colors on the screen to be pulled apart, causing cracks in the screen . If the location where the first ray of sunlight shines is too long, the thangka should be placed next to it with a little constant temperature.

Fortune Thangka includes Fortune King, Huang Fortune , etc. As the name implies, Fortune is in charge of wealth and wealth, which has the effect of attracting wealth. Therefore, these thangka are placed in a positive financial position, which can ensure a smooth business and a grand vision. If it is hung in a shop, it can protect money and avoid evil, and make money.

Many large companies’ president’s offices will hang a picture of the Yellow God of Wealth Thangka , enshrining the God of Wealth can pray for the prosperity of the business, be full of wishes, be safe, and have every financial problem. It can be resolved in time.

large thangkas, such as a thangka with a length of more than 2 meters can be made into a screen , which can be used as a partition between the two living rooms, or it can be placed in the hall. It shows that there is a blessed Bodhisattva guarding this place, and on the other hand, it can show the taste of the owner of the house.

Small thangkas are not suitable for home decoration and can be worn as accessories, such as necklaces or brooches. For details, you can read the "Value of 200,000! This blatant Gawu box was...".

All the thangkas of Grand San Thangka have been opened, and they must not be placed in dirty places such as bedrooms, bathrooms and kitchens.

is mainly because thangka cannot be placed in a humid place.Don't even get wet. It should be kept as dry as possible, otherwise the thangka will fade slightly. Can not be placed in the kitchen because thangka is not suitable for long-term smoking , long-term smoking will also make the surface of the thangka slightly yellow and look older.

If you are interested in the thangka in the article, or if you have a thangka in your hand but are not professional enough or understand it, we can help you take a look~
