Name: Immersion Weekend of Tibetan Buddhist Art and Painting! – July 1-4 – Padma Samye Ling
Start: 2023-07-01T00:00:00-04:00

Location: Padma Samye Ling

July 1, 2023 - July 4, 2023

Ven. Khenchen Palden Sherab Rinpoche and Ven. Khenpo Tsewang Dongyal Rinpoche have called Padma Samye Ling the “Samye of the West.” With the inspiration and blessings of the first monastery in Tibet, the main temple at PSL was designed in three tiers to include the main meditation shrine room, a 2^nd floor library, and a third floor dharmakaya shrine to house precious relics. We used professional craftspeople with expertise in Tibetan mural painting and carpentry. PSL is a living monument to all the lineage masters of India and Tibet, the established tenets of the Dharma, and all the Councils and Turnings of the Wheel of Buddhism.

We’re inviting Dharma students, art students, and everyone interested in Tibetan culture and monastic traditions to join us for a weekend of learning and discovering the refined elegance and power of Tibetan art!

This “in person” course will be led by various PBC students who are accomplished artists and have contributed beautifully to the elegance and beauty of PSL mandala, located on 500 acres of pristine forests, meadows, and hermitage buildings in the western foothills of the Catskill Mountains.

Theresa Savage Cooper is a longtime student of Ven. Khenpo Rinpoches who has created artwork for PBC books, as well as painting the portrait of Ven. Khenchen Palden Sherab Rinpoche within the PSL mural paintings.

Supplies will be provided.

Everyone is encouraged to arrive Friday night.

Activities begin Saturday morning, with multiple sessions throughout the weekend. Painting continues through July 4th celebrations!

PBC members: $36/day

Non-members: $41/day
