Sacred Art of Tibet
Presented by Andy Weber
Wednesday 22nd October at 7pm at
Chenrezig Institute
The artist Andy Weber spent seven years living and studying the iconographical art of Tibetan Buddhism under the guidance of accomplished masters in India and Nepal. His unique style of authentic images for visualization are highly respected not only by the growing number of Western Buddhists but also by Tibetan Lamas of all traditions, many of whom have commissioned his work. His thangka paintings ( Tibetan scroll paintings) can be seen in Buddhist centres and temples throughout the world including the Potala Palace in Lhasa and his images have become well known and popular through numerous publications.
Now with 25 years of experience he and his students offer their artwork and their services to the wider community. Join Andy on this one-off evening in which he will give a general presentation on the sacred art of Tibet. Following the public talk Andy will teach a 4- day art retreat working with Manjushri and Yamantaka.

Manjushri and Yamantaka Tibetan Art Retreat with Andy Weber
Thursday 23rd October to Sunday 26th
October
Thangka painting is a
uniquely Tibetan tradition that involves mastery over many techniques,
including drawing the deities and their surrounds according to formal rules
laid down by generations of Tibetan masters. Andy Weber, a master in his own
right, can show you how a thangka can be used with meditation to learn and
emulate the qualities of a particular deity, or to visualise your own path
towards enlightenment. As you familiarise yourself with the ancient techniques
of drawing Manjushri and Yamantaka, you will be led into the symbolism behind
each detail and discover both their provisional and definitive meanings, from
the representation of wisdom through to the skilful means employed to tame and
liberate all beings. Course Numbers strictly limited.
