The 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 The Buddha (Buddha Shakyamuni) Thangka Art Course at the School for Tibetan Buddhist Art.
Buddha Shakyamuni -commonly referred to as THE Buddha– is the historical founder of the Buddhism of our time. Around 2500 years ago he reached the enlightened state at age 35 and since then was called ‘Buddha’, meaning the Awakened One or Enlightened One.
