Sacred Art: Drawing a Traditional Tibetan Thangka, August 1-29 (Sat)

VITEC, Sacred Art: Drawing a Traditional Tibetan Thangka
Join the Venerable Lama Gyaltsen in an introductory course on drawing a Tibetan Buddhist thangka.  The thangka serves as an important teaching tool in Tibetan Buddhism, and is traditionally a painted, drawn, or embroidered banner that is hung in a monastery or a family altar.  Thangkas are popular among traveling monks because the scroll paintings are easily rolled and transported.  Thangkas offer a beautiufl manifestation of the divine, being both visually & mentally stimulating.  They are used as a meditation tool to help bring one further down the path of enlightenment.

Participants in this course will learn how to draw the images of a Buddha using the ancient, traditional techniques of thangka painting.

Topics include:
-Measuring and create a thangka stencil or grid
-Drawing the images within the stencil/grid
-Understanding the symbolic meaning of the body of the Buddha.

The Venerable Lama Gyaltsen is the resident teacher at the Maui Dharma Center. He has been a Tibetan Buddhist monk for over 40 years.  He studied in a monastic setting in India, and is learned in philosophies, language, logic, and the arts - sacred painting, ritual dance, music, and sculpture.
