Between CHF 50 and CHF 100 you will find Tibetan pieces that are not only beautiful but lasting. Pieces that are used for years and remind the person who received them of the moment they were given. That is the measure of a good gift: not how it feels when unwrapped, but how it still feels a year later.
For people with a meditation practice, a singing bowl set that can be played right away, a meditation cushion or prayer beads of stone, wood or seeds are a good fit. For the home altar there are small statues, prayer wheels, butter lamps as well as bell and dorje, which stand for compassion and wisdom in the tradition.
They are joined by scarves of wool, silk and cotton, backpacks of hemp and cotton, and hand-painted wooden wall hangings with the Buddha, Tara or the Medicine Buddha. The meditation cushions, scarves, backpacks and painted wall hangings are handcrafted by Tibetan artisans in the Himalayas, so no two are exactly alike.
