Thank you Ritual Thangka for your amazing work and wonderful warm communication. I'm very grateful for these beautiful pieces of artwork, and so proud to have the two Thangkas adorning my shrine room. They are both spectacular, but this Avalokitesvara (my favourite) is even more magnificent than I could have imagined! I'm also amazed that you got it to me so quickly and safely, despite the pandemic. Thank you!
