He's certified by China's Intangible Cultural Heritage program — one of fewer than 30 such artisans in his region.

The canvas is sized with yak-skin glue. A full Thangka takes 4–6 months. The gold on the Buddha's crown is real 24K.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \n  \u003ch3 class=\"vh-section-title\"\u003eAt Home\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eThis isn't museum glass.
