Where to Get Tormas Made: 八供果

First, this beautiful set of six tormas (八供果) is available from Lama Tharchin Rinpoche.

Above: This Yamantaka torma isn't made by Mr. Karl, but it could be.

Next, Phil Karl is an oldtime student of Trungpa Rinpoche who operates a small business, making tormas for practitioners. His work is absolutely beautiful, and he is a really delightful fellow, so if you want something made, I suggest you contact him at http://www.tormas.biz/gallery.htm(don't you just love it?)

Above: This is an example of Mr. Karl's painstaking work.

    Did you mean http://www.tormas.biz/ ?
    The URL you provided does not seem to go anywhere.

    Namaste...

    I just happened across this site. Was very surprised (and delighted of course) to see one of my tormas displayed, and thanks to whoever did that. Re the comment above, yes, the url for my site is www.tormas.biz. That'll get you there. Best,
