It’s a long story how she came to live with me. She is my companion when I paint. Her story is wonderful and important to me.
Where did I get it? On eBay. Yep. In 2004. It is from Tibet via Beijing. The package it came in was almost as wondrous as the painting. Palden Lamo is the guardian of the Dalai Lama.

She is. She makes my neighbors uncomfortable but she’s my friend.
In China. On ebay. Craziness.
You can still get them on eBay but they are a lot more expensive. I had two but gave one to my friend when I I retired. He was Manjushri who represents Wisdom and Learning. He was beautiful.
She is fierce! I’m guessing you have a fierceness too!
Necessarily… ❤️
The guardian of the Dalai Lama is worthy of deep respect and thanks. She is fierce!
Very nice! I have some thangkas too an love them so much. May she guard you and the Dalai Lama for many years to come!
Wonderful. She’s one of the wise ones who show us how to defeat time
Wow…I love this!
She’s great company!
