Ah syllable
- The Primordial Sound in Rainbow Light -
Within the eternal vastness where no horizon divides sky and earth, the primordial seed syllable “Ah” gleams in pure white—like breath before sound, like silence before creation—encircled by the deep, tranquil blue, radiating the luminous rainbow.

This A5-sized small thangka depicts the Tibetan seed syllable “Ah,” rendered with natural mineral pigments that give it a calm, profound depth of color.
The sacred sequence of the five rainbow colors was taught with great kindness by Venerable Nyichang Khentrül Rinpoche.
Created as part of the curriculum for the online thangka painting course hosted by Atelier NISHI.
