11 Heads of Avalokiteshvala


Mystical manifestation of Avalokiteshvara, beloved Buddhist bodhisattva of compassion, maybe better known to the Chinese as Kwan Yin (Quan Yin), or as Kannon to the Japanese. This version shows 11 heads and 8 principal arms, but no way Bodhicitta Tees was going to attempt to draw the other 992 arms. Om Mani Padmi Hum, (The Jewel in the Lotus), mantra of Avalokiteshvara, is shown at the bottom in Tibetan script.

Shakyamuni Buddha


If Bodhicitta Tees purports to offer Buddhist t shirts, then most likely it would help to have a t shirt of the Buddha. Shakyamuni Buddha was inspired by a mish mash of Tibetan thangka, but BT couldn't stop drawing, so it ended up somewhere in the realm of overkill. I still like it though, it came out a lot better than i thought it would. This style shows uprarely with gold on red a red background, but I also like a dark blue background as well, in reference to the gold ink on indigo of sacred manuscripts.
