Our creative designer Tatjana Krizmanic imagined a series of images to illustrate the practice of saving lives found in many traditions, especially Buddhism. These iconic graphic treatments were parlayed across a variety of products for Mangala Shri Bhuti, a Tibetan non-profit organization, including t-shirts, post cards, posters, throw pillows, duvees and more, all with the intention of raising awareness about the life saving practice. Considered to be the essence of compassionate action, life saving recognizes the universality of the wish for happiness and fear of suffering across the spectrum of beings. It is said that to save of a life brings joy to the one who practices it as well as protecting the being who one saves. Tatjana used the symbol of the human hand to add a sense of agency in addition to the sympathetic graphics of various beings.
