Full set of six tormas In their compassion for sentient beings, Buddhas from the past and present have given limitless spiritual practices designed to help beings end their suffering and awaken to their true enlightened nature.

These practices include an array of potent tantric Buddhist meditation techniques, which make use of sacred elements such as mandalas, forms of wisdom deities, mantras, mudra (hand gestures), and sacred substances such as tormas. A torma is considered to represent the awakened mind of the Buddha and through our connection with them our own Buddha mind can be awakened. Each torma’s exact shape, proportion, and color arise from the wisdom minds of the Buddhas.

Therefore, its sublime material form facilitates spiritual practice and accomplishment. While it is most common to use tormas on a shrine for spiritual practice, they could also be used to accumulate positive energy in the home or could simply be appreciated as spiritual art.
