The Tibetan Art of Sacred Images

Course subject: Medicine Buddha (Tib.: Sangyae Menlha).

This course is based on a quick path to create an artwork based on the tradition of painting gold lines on a simple blue background.

It is great chance for students to learn this artistic process and contact themselves with the qualities and energy of the Medicine Buddha. Meditations and mantra sessions will enhance the process. The healthy food offered by Tushita and its environment will stimulate this process.

The Medicine Buddha or “great king with the radiance of a lapis jewel” is the embodiment of all the buddha’s healing qualities. The Buddha taught the four Medical tantras in the palace of Tanadukh and since then it formed the basis for all healing traditions in the Eastern medical traditions. His left hand holds a begging bowl filled with three medical fruits and nectar symbolizing his power to conquer diseases and delusions. His right hand holds the Myrobalane plant renowned as the ‘king of medicine’ because of its effectiveness in treating both mental and physical illnesses. Recitations of his mantra and of his name is said to bring release from suffering, protection from untimely death and from dangers.

On the first day, June 16, the arrival of the participants is expected from 6 p.m. The retreat begins after dinner. Departure is on the last day, June 23, after lunch
