The first concerns resources and sufficiency; the second concerns the force needed to meet obstruction without hesitation. Tibetan Buddhist art often gives wrathful forms to deities associated with powerful activity, so the frightening appearance is part of a purposeful visual language rather than a sign of hostility. Black Jambhala therefore stands apart from calmer wealth-deity images and has a particularly intense presence in the Jambhala tradition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003c\/section\u003e\n    \u003csection class=\"pdp-v3__section pdp-v3__making\"\u003e\n      \u003cdiv class=\"pdp-v3__section-head\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"pdp-v3__tag\"\u003eTHE MAKING · PROCESS\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow this piece was completed\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003eThe tsa-tsa was hand-pressed from local clay in Shiqu using a traditional mould, naturally dried and hand-painted by a monk.
