The Rime Thangkas Project is a sacred arts project which depicts meditational deities, historical figures and protector beings in thangka form. Conceptualised by H.E. Tsem Rinpoche, this ground-breaking initiative is a bridge that spans various Tibetan Buddhist traditions, in which Dorje Shugden is not just another object of worship but a unifying spiritual element.

In the hundreds of thangkas painstakingly produced to date, Dorje Shugden is depicted alongside deities that have never been seen together, to foster acceptance, tolerance and harmony amongst various spiritual traditions. In this way, Dorje Shugden becomes much more than just an enlightened Dharma Protector but a true messenger of peace, wisdom and religious tolerance.
