Thangka is a traditional Tibetan Buddhist painting, often depicting Buddhist figures and sutra stories, symbolizing sacred beliefs and the transmission of wisdom. It is used for worship and spiritual practice. Prayer wheels contain inscribed scriptures, and rotating them signifies reciting prayers to seek blessings, embodying the "physical, verbal, and mental" practices of Tibetan Buddhism. They serve as a medium for communication between humans and the divine.
