In Tibetan Buddhism, sacred art is more than art. It is a gateway to profound insights and wakefulness. Divine art helps us visualize the deeper and more powerful parts of ourselves. Experiencing the serenity and beauty of the art while chanting mantras can be a shortcut to finding a joyful state of mind.
In this image, Buddha Amitayus offers blessings for a long and successful life, enriched with wisdom and compassion.
In this 5-week online series, we will explore a different deity and mantra each week, discussing the symbolism of the art and learning a melody for each mantra. There will be a guided meditation using the imagery of the deity to help us relax and feel a deep sense of calm. Questions about the symbolism of the art, mantras and meditation practices will all be welcome.
