Drawing The Face of Buddha

Everyone is welcome! KMC Plymouth is delighted to host this special Kadampa Buddhist Art Workshop with Visiting Teacher and Kadampa Buddhist Nun, Kelsang Yonchen. No previous artistic experience or knowledge needed.

Limited Spaces - please book early online to ensure your place.

Drawing images of Buddha is an extremely meaningful activity, creating many positive potentials for the future. Buddha is a perfect being, so we need special techniques when we create an image of him to reflect that.

On this course, you can learn to create the image of Buddha's face, with in-depth guidance and demonstrations provided. This meaningful activity has many benefits: it helps us to draw closer to Buddha, develops our concentration, makes our mind more peaceful and is the foundation for learning to paint Buddha images or statues. It also creates the causes to attain the form body of a Buddha.

This rare art course, taught by qualified Kadampa artist Kelsang Yonchen, can both relax and inspire. These courses are suitable for everyone, regardless of their artistic ability. If you can use a ruler and a pencil then this course is suitable for you! All materials are included within the fee.

During The Day
Our World Peace Café will be open all day serving hot and cold drinks and a variety of snacks and homemade cakes. There are many food outlets on Mutley Plain for lunch, or you are welcome to bring a packed lunch to eat at the centre. Please note we cannot heat or store food for attendees.
