paintings and more. The biggest reason
for why I continued painting Buddhist
paintings is the inexplicable joy I feel
when and after painting. Learn happily,
paint happily and enjoy the dharmic joy
you feel after you’ve painted.
It takes a lot of patience and
attention to details when painting
meticulous styled paintings. After
you’ve painted for some period of time,
you’d feel less anxiety and unease,
your thoughts will become more clear,
and you’d even feel that things will go
smoother when you’re taking care of
business. What makes me feel the most
touched is the selfless dedication of our
teachers. The classes are completely free
of charge, not to mention we are able to
receive endearing and earnest guidance.
Besides the teaching of painting
techniques, there is also the explanation
of Dharma. Immersed in the sentiment
of love and bliss, I sincerely respect and
appreciate these compassionate and
loving teachers. Conclusion: The Buddhist
paintings that are being taught here are
mainly comprised of Bodhisattvas, with
some aspects of traditions incorporated
in new ideas. We welcome all whom has
affinities with us to come and learn to
paint Buddhist paintings.

minds on their purity and reflect on their
merits. After the painting is finished,
it could inspire viewers to appreciate
Buddhas’ and Bodhisattvas’ many
virtues. Therefore, painting Buddhas is
such a special and incredible practice,
simply because it is good for oneself and
good for others.
One of student said, After taking
art classes in junior high school, I haven’t
picked up the paint brush a single time. It
is only until recent years, after I’ve turned
sixty, that I finally started learning to paint
Buddhist paintings. I had zero painting
skills, but with the encouragement of my
teachers, I have already completed ten
