Calling the Lama from Afar

The Lamas practice the Vajrayana form of Buddhism, with the motivation to reach Buddhahood. They believe that it is highly difficult to obtain the human body form to learn and practice the teachings of Buddha in the right environment to attain enlightenment. This portfolio showcases the many impressions of Vajrayana through a path of learning and living out the Buddha teachings, elaborated with colourful prayer flags, well-crafted prayer accessories, spirited debates, and ceremonious prayer sessions.
