From the Holy Text of Tibetan Buddhism: Sixty Songs of Milarepa – Songs 10 & 16-20

Tibetan Buddhism is a rich culture that emerged from a wide range of practices, which include the complete scope of the Buddha’s teachings from the Hinayana, Mahayana and Vajrayana levels. Different groups belong to Tibetan Buddhism, and the teachings of Tibetan Buddhism put a focus on the awareness of death and the ephemeral nature of life, leading to diligence in meditation and spiritual practice. Mandalas, prayer flags, and thangka paintings are visual imagery used as reminders for practitioners on the path.
