Tibetan Tsatsa - Sacred Object - Buddha Dharma - Amitabha

Tibetan Tsatsa:

- A Tibetan tsatsa is a small Buddhist deity image, usually made of terracotta (clay), which is used in Tibetan Buddhism for meditation and worship. They are often found in temples, monasteries and Tibetan homes. It is an object that is revered and believed to provide blessings and protection.

- Handcrafting tsatsa is an ancient tradition that dates back over 1000 years. Tsatsa are small clay sculptures that are handmade in Lhasa, Tibet. They are often made from white or red clay and are often decorated with religious images or spiritual symbols. They are made to represent various deities and religious beliefs and are often used as offerings to deities or as talismans. Tsatsa are also used as objects of worship and meditation for Buddhist practitioners. The crafting of tsatsa is very important to Tibetan culture and is an integral part of religious practice.

- This object can be used for decoration but also for prayer.
