Presentation: Tangkas – history, construction, meaning, and symbols
Longtime SIM participant and Tibetan Buddhist practitioner Gus Koehler will be offering this Thangka seminar. We will be looking at their origins, how they are made, how to use them, and what the subject matter is. Special attention will be given to the three thangkas currently in our meditation space, their mantra, and meaning. Attention will also be given to the Wheel of Life.
Gus will be presenting as a longtime Dzogchen practitioner not a thangka expert. This will involve sharing some personal experiences with Thangka.
There is no fee. Attendees may bring their own Thangka to see if we can identify them. Plenty of time will be available for questions and discussion.
This event is sponsored by the Sacramento Dharma Center.
