Mini Stupa Tsa Tsa Mold | Metal Alloy | Approx 1 1/4 inches in diameter

These mini stupa tsa tsa molds are very detailed for their size as can be seen in the images. The mold features mantras encircling the the base, 8 stupas, and seed syllables on the top. It is recommended to use clay for making tsa tsas with metal molds. Once blessed, tsa tsa are sacred images and should be treated as such.

Making tsa tsas is considered a meritorious action. Individuals, historically, made pilgrimages to make many tsa tsas in auspicious places.

Instructions:
1. Lightly oil the mold to allow for the tsa tsa to release from the mold. It is important no excess oil collects in recesses in the mold or the tsa tsa will not be well defined.
2. Knead the clay to soften and shape before filling the mold.
3. Press the clay into the mold and shape the base of the stupa extending approximately 1/2 inches beyond the bottom of the mold.
4. To bless the tsa tsa, either make a small hole in the bottom and fill with blessed rice or mantra roll and cover the hole OR write or stamp a mantra on the bottom.
5. Carefully remove the tsa tsa from the mold.
6. Dry the tsa tsa completely.
7. Paint or varnish the tsa tsa.
