Coloring for Meditation - Tashi Dhargyal

Tibetan Buddhists have long seen art as a powerful meditative practice, but you need not be Buddhist to enjoy colouring the fifty illustrations here. Through deep symbolism, Tibetan imagery of enlightenment depicts the qualities of wisdom and compassion, and the mindful focus evoked by colouring them can not only still agitation, it can connect us to deeper meaning. Images inside include the Buddha, several different bodhisattvas, major symbols, decorative motifs, important figures from Tibetan history, mythical creatures, and scenes from nature. Each illustration is accompanied with a brief description. This accessible presentation of traditional imagery is drawn from the artist's own two-story painting he is creating at his studio in California, and readers can get further inspiration and interact with the author at colouring for meditation.com.
