Beleef een mooie dag in een Boeddhistisch Centrum met de bekende thangka-schilder Carmen Mensink.
Tijdens deze speciale dagworkshop op Internationale Dierendag leer je dieren te tekenen zoals ze worden weergegeven in de traditionele Tibetaanse thangka-traditie (rolschilderingen van Boeddha’s en Mandala’s). Dieren die op thangka’s worden afgebeeld zijn bijvoorbeeld herten, yaks, vissen en vogels. Zij maken onderdeel uit van het landschap rondom een Boeddha op een thangka.
Dieren zijn in het Tibetaans Boeddhisme sowieso belangrijk, omdat er wordt erkend dat álle voelende wezens precies hetzelfde willen als wij mensen: simpelweg gelukkig zijn en niet lijden.
Tijdens deze vierdaagse retraite op de Veluwe leer je een prachtige Boeddha of Mandala te tekenen (en wellicht later te schilderen) volgens de traditie van thangka (Tibetaanse rolschilderingen).
Creating buddhist art in the most beautiful city in the world! Learn to draw a Buddha in a traditional ‘Venetian Palazzo’, on one of the canals in the heart of Venice (with amazing views!). Creating art in the city where you are surrounded by art is such a great combination.
Learn to draw the Face of the Buddha according to the Tibetan tradition. No drawing experience needed. This workshop offers a great introduction on Tibetan thangka painting (Buddhist scroll paintings): through the lecture you’ll learn about the tradition of thangka art, how it came into existence, and the special place it holds within the Tibetan buddhist philosophy.
During this 4-day thangka course you will learn how to draw Green Tara -the most famous female Buddha- according to the Tibetan Buddhist tradition. Through a combination of drawing, lectures and meditations this weekend, you will not only make a connection with the Buddha, it also gives you drawing so much more depth. In addition to experiencing the meditational way of thangka drawing, you will learn all about the backgrounds and symbolism of the subject. You will also learn the Mantra of the Buddha, learn its meaning how to work with it.
Deze workshop biedt een geweldige introductie tot Tibetaanse thangka-schilderkunst (boeddhistische rolschilderingen).
Tijdens de lezing leer je over de traditie van thangka, hoe het is ontstaan en de speciale plek die het inneemt binnen de Tibetaans-boeddhistische filosofie. Daarna ga je zelf aan de slag, door te leren hoe je het gezicht van de Boeddha tekent volgens de Tibetaans-boeddhistische traditie.
Het tekenen van het gezicht van de Boeddha op de manier waarop het al eeuwenlang wordt gedaan, is een meditatieve ervaring. De symboliek in het Boeddhagezicht wordt ook uitgelegd.
