A Journal of gilding gold on Lapis



Mani mantra on lapis-like background ⓒ Tashi Mannox 2013


Who doesn't like richness of gold on deep lapis blue colour? a combination made in heaven, historically used for the most divine of Christian icons, Pharaoh's precious ornamentations and sacred Mantras on lapis lazuli tablets

This is a short photographic story of the creation of the sacred Mani mantra oṃ maṇipadme hūṃ according to the proportionate construction of the Uchen script style. 












This art piece has also been put together with a song by Imee Ooi who sings the Mani mantra beautifully.
