About Event:
The auspicious symbols are commonly seen in Tibetan art and artefacts. They may be see as decorations on items such as carpets, or articles in use in the kitchen etc and are thought to bring luck and protection to those using them.
The lotus flower is a significant symbol in Tibetan Buddhism. Most statutes and paintings of The Buddha and Buddhist deities show the figures seated or standing on a lotus seat. The lotus may also mean spiritual purity, enlightenment, or the ability to rise in perfect beauty out of the mud
In this one-day workshop participants will learn a simple way to draw , then paint a pair of traditional auspicious Lotus. The image can then become a treasured card or a small special stand-alone art piece.
Participants will also be invited to join in brief meditation relating to the meaning of the sacred lotus. This will enhance the experience of spending a day creating a traditional image in the unique environment of the Art Studio at Chenrezig Institute.
