Medicine Buddha: Online Course

Learn to draw the Medicine Buddha according to the Tibetan tradition of thangka.
The Medicine Buddha -a manifestation of Buddha Shakyamuni (The Buddha)- is the embodiment of all the Buddhas’ healing qualities, associated with healing both physical and mental suffering. He is also referred to as the ‘King of Medicine’, and is regularly surrounded by the healing plants used in Tibetan Medicine.

Besides learning to draw the Medicine Buddha in this course, one also learns all about the Medicine Buddha, meanings and iconography. In addition there is an introduction in Tibetan Medicine, you’ll listen to and can download guided meditations on the Medicine Buddha, and you’ll learn about his mantra and how to work with it. It’s a very rich course. A package with grids, handouts, cards, and a personal note will be sent to your home address in advance.

This course is offered to students on all levels (those without previous drawing experience), but the prerequisite is Buddha Face Thangka Art Course (see below).
