Tibetan House

Welcome to The Tibet House:

We are a unique gift store celebrating the culture of Tibet with treasures from Northern India and Nepal. We have beautiful Tibetan art - Thangkas - that are a profound expression of Tibetan Buddhism, hand made Tibetan rugs that are known to be the most durable of all rugs, malas , which are prayer beads, temple bells, singing bowls, statues, wall hangings, incense, prayer flags, jewelry, scarves, shawls, and so much more.

Our merchandise is purchased in India and Nepal with the intent of supporting Tibetan refugees and all those who help them settle into their new homes and lives. We also hope to bring informed awareness about the conditions in Tibet that continue to necessitate this sad exile.

The inception of The Tibet House grew out of our involvement with the inspirational visit of His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama to New Orleans. As Community Outreach coordinators for the historic event, we experienced firsthand both the joy of his presence in New Orleans and the hope and good will that he instilled in us all.

From the community, we heard an overwhelming desire to stay connected to the message that His Holiness delivered. Prayer Flags are still flying throughout New Orleans. It is our aspiration to create a venue that supports and encourages this connection.
