Art and Meditation Workshop
Let’s learn to visualise the symbols of NgalSo Self-Healing by drawing them
Saturday and Sunday
from 11.00 to 13.00 and from 15.30 to 17.30.
Following the path of Lama Gangchen Rinpoche’s NgalSo Tantric Self-Healing, we will draw the mandalas of the five elements corresponding to our five chakras, the five lotus flowers, and then the seed syllables and symbols of the five families of the Dhyani Buddhas, the Supreme Healers.
The course is open to everyone and requires no prior experience in drawing.
Children aged 5 and over, as well as students who have previously attended Duccio’s courses, are also welcome. The teacher will ensure that each student is supported according to their individual abilities.
Items to bring with you:
An A4 sketchbook with semi-textured paper.
Coloured pencils (green, yellow, blue, red, white).
A set square and a ruler.
A compass and an eraser.
Bookings must be made at reception or by emailing: reception@kunpen.it
Leonardo ‘Duccio’ Ceglie
He attended art school and the Academy of Fine Arts in Rome, and met Lama Gangchen Rinpoche in 1984 at the Lama Tsong Khapa Institute in Pomaia. His Tibetan friend, Pempa Tsering, advised him to try painting a small Chenrezig Buddha and to present it as a gift to Lama Gangchen. The Lama immediately commissioned him to paint another Buddha, and then another, and yet another. Over the years, he became his disciple and continued to paint Tibetan thangkas following his instructions.
He accompanied the Lama on numerous pilgrimages to the main sacred sites of the Buddha and to the great Tibetan monasteries, taking canvases and paints with him and thus deepening his knowledge of Tibetan sacred painting.
