RESCHEDULED DATE!
IN-PERSON Only
The creation of Buddha images (kupar, in Tibetan) has been a religious activity for Buddhist practitioners for centuries.
It is said that the creation of Buddha images (particularly those created using a tikse, a compositional framework based on harmonious mathematical proportions) cultivates immense virtue, as these images can plant the seed of awakening in all who encounter them.
In this workshop, Lama Karma Wangdu will show us how to cast Buddha images in plaster to take home for our own spiritual practice, or to donate to KTC’s bookstore.
Lama Kathy will explain the history and traditions behind image creation
This three-hour experience will bring you closer to the practice of the buddhadharma and your spiritual center, while making an image you can take with you and use at home.
The $5 base donation requested for the class will help us with material purchases. Donations over the cost of materials will benefit KTC’s Operations Fund.
Attendance is limited to 15, so we have enough materials and workstations for everyone to make one image. Thanks in advance for your understanding!
IF YOU DO NOT HAVE FINANCIAL MEANS to attend, please contact the organizer at kmwesley@me.com and you will be registered at no cost.
