This objective is justified by the lack of studies in Portuguese on the subject. Although it is noticeable nowadays an expansion of Asian studies in Brazil, in confluence with a growing approach and interest in Eastern culture in contemporary society; this dissertation, by field research, literature and history, wishes to investigate, explain and expose the deep and specific scope of the symbolic, sacred and traditional in Tibetan painting. Believing that the recognition of the arts and non eurocentric aesthetic theories corroborate the cognition and production of the invaluable human cultural diversity.

There, concepts such as history, technique and themes of thangka (Tibetan traditional painting) were discussed, explained and practiced. Themes that were seen superficially regarded the short time, but already displayed the traditional and millennial strength of Tibetan painting. By his personal history and daily routine as a traditional and contemporary painter, Karma addressed basic issues: measurement and canon of the Buddha's head, composition of landscapes, design, composition and colors of the elements, fire, air (clouds), water (waterfalls, rivers and lakes), earth (mountains, rocks, abyss, trees, flowers) and craft principles, demonstrating the craft in the arts, the making of brushes, mineral pigments and preparation of canvas. In addition to traditional studies, as in a two-way road, there was the participation of Karma in Coletivo RAGA's project (to which I belong, doing paintings and murals) in a mural in Dharamsala, about the difficult political situation and the protests in the Tibetan region.
