These Mini Guru Rinpoche tsa tsa molds are beautifully detailed and produce small coin sized tsa tsas. The tsa tsa mold is created with an magnificent depiction of Guru Padmasambhava. Om Ah Hung is imprinted to one side of Guru Rinpoche, a stupa is on the other side, and Guru Rinpoche's mantra is imprinted around the perimeter of the tsa tsa. It is recommended to use clay for making tsa tsas with metal molds. Once blessed, tsa tsa are sacred images and should be treated as such.

Guru Padmasambhava is a central figure in Tibetan Buddhism and is also known as Padmasambhava, Guru Rinpoche, or the Lotus-Born. He is considered a historical figure and was born in what is now modern-day India in the 8th century CE.

According to the Vajrayana tradition , Guru Rinpoche was a master of tantra and was instrumental in introducing Buddhism to Tibet. He is credited with subduing local deities, demons, and negative forces in Tibet and is believed to have hidden spiritual treasures or "terma" for future generations to discover.

Padmasambhava is often depicted with a fierce, semi-wrathful expression, holding a vajra and skull cup. Revered by the Nyingma school of Tibetan Buddhism as Guru Rinpoche, the "Second Buddha," he is believed to have attained the highest level of spiritual realization as a Vajrayana master.

His teachings emphasize the importance of compassion, wisdom, and skillful means in achieving enlightenment. Padmasambhava's influence on Tibetan Buddhism is immense and his legacy is still celebrated today in numerous festivals and ceremonies.

Making tsa tsas is considered a meritorious action. Individuals, historically, made pilgrimages to make many tsa tsas in auspicious places.

Instructions:
1. Lightly oil the mold to allow for the tsa tsa to release from the mold. It is important no excess oil collects in recesses in the mold or the tsa tsa will not be well defined.
2. Knead the clay to soften and shape before filling the mold.
3. Press the clay into the mold. There are a couple of options to make it easier to get the tsa tsa to release:
a. Use extra clay to make a base extending approximately 1/2 inches beyond the bottom of the mold to give you something to grab to release the tsa tsa;
b. Add a little handle made of clay to the back of the tsa tsa to give you something to grab to release the tsa tsa or;
c. Use extra clay to allow you to press the tsa tsa down onto a board and this will allow you to lift the mold while leaving the tsa tsa behind. This method requires the trimming of the tsa tsa.
4. To bless the tsa tsa, either make a small hole in the bottom/back and fill with blessed rice or mantra roll and cover the hole OR write or stamp a mantra on the bottom/ back.
5. Carefully remove the tsa tsa from the mold.
6. Dry the tsa tsa completely.
7. Paint or varnish the tsa tsa.

There are lots of videos available online for more detail regarding making tsa tsas.

These are hand made and have some slight variations between items. Molds have some cosmetic finish defects that will not impact the imprint of the tsa tsa.

Amazing Collection!
Format: Hardcover
I've loved Crystal Wilkinson's fiction for so long, so I'm thrilled to see her new book of poems (along with some essays and gorgeous/compelling artwork by Ron Davis). So many memorable image systems work their ways through the poems: creek water, tobacco, the Black body, blood, knives, food and kitchens--symbols and themes which have always marked Wilkinson's oeuvre in one way or another. Her language is lyrical in describing the brutalities of farm life, abuse, grief, and loss. This poetry collection is just stunning!

Amazing Book...
Format: Paperback
It takes a lot nowadays for me to rate any Fiction book 5 stars. I read way more non-fiction, and usually only read highly recommended fiction, or some that's given to me. There are plenty of other reviews here that tell you how it's not a "happy" book (why that matters i dont know), so i wont go on about that part. I dont base my reading choices on whether they have a happy fantasy story. This story is very real. The writing is really good. I have several points that i use to rate a book: the story itself, the actual writing style, the 'entertainment' value, the emotions it brings out - laughter, sadness, etc., and if it's very memorable - either by being very different than anything i've ever read, or by something else about it being very different. The only point out of all of those that i wouldnt give a 5 would be the writing style/prose - which i'd give a 4. It's very good, but not "amazing" to me like some authors are. The author brought me into the characters - where i could feel what they were feeling, and i understood why they did the 'bad' things they did - totally. I felt the way they lived, the area, the poverty... As the story progressed, i stayed up one night for HOURS wanting to know what happened - until the sun rose actually. As the finale was coming - which i had no idea would be the way it was - i was literally gripping the book with both hands and holding it up to my face. I realized this and laughed to myself since i hadnt even noticed. Then - i sobbed thru the last 20 pgs - i havent cried from ANY fiction for a long time. Yes, i get into books and really let them take me away, but this book has a special kind of writing and a special story that i never expected to effect me sooo much. The author THEN does something so amazing at the very end - when i couldnt believe it could get any better. I KNEW what i wanted to happen - and i kept thinking to myself, "no, it wont - because it will just seem to corny if it does." (Even tho i wanted it so much.) She made it happen in a special way, without making it corny but while bringing me the hope and good feeling i needed after all the sobbing. (I dont want to give anything away just in case you dont know the story.) This book scores an A+. If you love good, moving, American fiction you will love this.
