Artist for Tiratanaloka Unlimited

By akasajoti on Sun, 17 Aug, 2025 - 20:03

To create an iconography that expresses Buddhist values in the modern world will take 200 years. (Aloka)

We are looking for an experienced artist to work with us to express our vision for this space.

Dharmabyte: A Perfected Universe, A Perfected Self

By Sadayasihi on Mon, 16 Mar, 2020 - 13:00

A very interesting introduction to the mandala here from Garava - the idea, the myth, the image, the symbol, the experience. His own practice as an artist affords him a respectful and generous perspective, from which we are able to simply sit back and learn.

Excerpted from the talk Entering the Mandala given at Padmaloka Retreat Centre, 2001.
