Reviews
This is a gorgeous calendar of Tibetan thangkas, painted by master artists from Nepal, and including explanatory text of the symbols and deities/buddhas depicted, as well as moon phases in the date portion. I am not quite sure what the prior reviewer saying this should be Rated R is talking about - I guess the tantric images of yab yum (male/female deities in union)? It's true there are some, so if that offends you, don't get this calendar (but I wouldn't think someone offended by that would be interested in a Tibetan Sacred Images calendar anyway!) Part of the proceeds from this go to Tibetan charities, so that is an additional plus.
