Thangka Project 4

Today we come to the conclusion of the Hope Project Thangkas.  If you recall, the third thangka ended with the crucifixion of Jesus.  The fourth one starts with the resurrection and ascension.  It continues on to Jesus sending the Holy Spirit and then shows how the Gospel is for all peoples, not just the Jews.  You'll notice our nomad friend has joined with the circle of believers.  The bottom of this thangka depicts the second coming of Christ.   I really love how this traditional art form was used to communicate things in a way the audience could easily understand.
