Karmapa's Gift to the Karmapa
In 1978, Tashi Mannox's father, Peter Mannox, was commissioned to have a enclosure -- a tangshup -- for an picture combined by a 16th Karmapa, with whom he was utterly friendly. Peter Mannox is a Western world's inaugural maker of Dharma articles from precious metals -- a career that was in truth selected for him by means of divination.
This enclosure is twenty inches in length, of solid silver, as well as lapis enamel.
What picture this enclosure essentially encases is unknown, but as Peter reports, "It is meant for transmission to a 17th Karmapa," if as well as when he is ever able to revisit Samye Ling Tibetan Centre, in Scotland.
The total story can be found during Peter's wonderful blog North Fife.
