Medicine Buddha – Artworks and Testimonials
by the students of Carmen Mensink
An overview of the drawings and paintings created by Carmen’s students during the online Medicine Buddha Thangka Art Course at the School for Tibetan Buddhist Art.
The Medicine Buddha -a transformation 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.
Join a Medicine Buddha Thangka Art Course
You can learn how to draw or paint the Medicine Buddha according to the Tibetan Buddhist tradition during the annual Thangka Retreat Weeks in The Netherlands, Italy and the USA, or take it as an Online Medicine Buddha Thangka Art Course. This subject is offered to students on all levels -also those without any drawing experience whatsoever!- and can be done after drawing the Face of the Buddha (that traditionally all thangka students start with), either in the same retreat or online.
