It is easy to be seduced by the charisma of an expert who can infuse you with undiscovered potential\, but when you find it is is still there after you have said your goodbyes\, you know a very tangible alchemy has taken place. And as proof\, you also get to express your freshly minted wisdom on paper – for keeps!” – Maggie Saunders\, October retreat 2024.  \n  \nIf you are interested to secure a place on this retreat\, please contact the operations manager Jax as above. \n

And we did all of this in a beautiful and inspiring setting in Provence. Thank you Tashi for your calm presence\, brilliant skills and deep wisdom!” – Sandra Mattar. \n“Being at the right spot on the right time\, one could say. What a wonderful moment in time this Tibetan Calligraphy Retreat has been! While staying at a very picturesque location which nature perfectly designed for a retreat like this we were included in that joyous happiness that emanates from Tashi Mannox and\, in his enormous  wisdom he generously shares.Even watching the skilled\, seemingly easy\, flowingly dancing movements of his brush while the sacred Tibetan letters emerging with precision on the paper transforms one into a meditative state … as well as the Buddhist teachings\, the meditations and\, not to forget\, the very delicious meals … all senses got the invitation of celebrating the beauty of life. Every part of the retreat carefully chosen and cared for makes it an unique experience which words cannot express.” – Susanna vd Zande. \n“A week of Tibetan Calligraphy with Tashi Mannox has been a joyful and profound immersion into the art of sacred letters. It opened new perceptions into the place from where sounds and forms emerge.\nThe discipline of Tibetan calligraphy is pure delight! precise\, rigorous… opening the door of silent awareness.” – Pema Gitama\, on attending the Tibetan Calligraphy Retreat 2024.

SUMMARY:A unique Tibetan Calligraphy workshop in Como\, Italy.
DESCRIPTION:The Fondazione Antonio Ratti\, FAR\, in association with the Shang Shung Institute of Tibetan Studies\, warmly hosts Tashi Mannox to lead a weekend calligraphy workshop on the art of Tibetan uchen script. \nThis workshop also premieres an exclusive pre-launch of his new book Tibetan Calligraphy – The Meditative practice of Uchen Script (Wisdom Publications). The book will be available for purchase and signing during the workshop. \nAt the same place and time is an exhibition of an extraordinary *Bardo series of artworks by Drugu Choegyal Rinpoché\, offering a rich\, all-encompassing introduction to the Tibetan Buddhist view of death and rebirth through figurative and profound scriptural references\, see image below.  \nThe Bardo series exhibition officially opens at 6 pm on Friday 9th – all welcome. \nThe Tibetan calligraphy workshop runs from 9 am to 5:30 pm on Saturday 10th and from 9 am to 4 pm on Sunday 11th. \nThis course is suitable for beginners as well as those more practiced. \nParticipants should bring an A3 size pad of paper and writing implements: pencil\, sharpener\, eraser and ruler. Recommended pens: a selection of the reliable Pilot Parallel pen’s\, nib sizes: 3.0\, 3.8 and 4.5\, ink cartridges included. \nParticipants are welcome to either bring their own lunch or purchase a lunch box that FAR would prepare for them.\nFAR can also assist in finding accommodation (apartments or rooms) for the weekend if needed – at the participant’s own expense. \nTo book and all enquires please contact via the host website and organiser Martina. \n\n\n  \nPainting 4 “Suchness is beyond description” from the *Bardo series\, © Drugu Choegyal Rinpoché. Acrylic with mineral colours on cotton:\nAs explained – \nThe Buddha is teaching the Prajñāpāramitā at Vulture Peak in Ragjir\, beside him are the lay person Avalokiteśvara and the monk Shariputra. \nThe monk and the layperson are debating emptiness and interdependence\, emptiness and existence\, and how the two exist together interdependently. \nInstructions on how to meditate on emptiness are given\, along with clarifications about the emptiness of the mind\, the creating mind and the nature of mind. Realising this\, the mind is liberated from fear of death. \nTranslation of the contents –  \nThe Buddha said that suchness is beyond description through words or speech. Its nature is like space\, totally free from the dualistic mind and the intellect’s movements. This supreme and amazing teaching was given by him after attaining enlightenment. Considering the natural state of mind\, indivisible and uncontrived\, he said: \nConsciousness is empty. \nEmptiness is consciousness. \nEmptiness is none other than consciousness. \nConsciousness is none other than emptiness. \nThis renown Prajñāpāramitā quote is reproduced on the painting in blue Uchen calligraphy. \nIn the collected works of Zhechen Gyaltsab Pema Gyurme\, (Vol. 9\, p. 304) we find; \nWhile resting composed\, in the general manner meditate on emptiness like space. During post meditation\, practice the two accumulations in union\, embracing them with the sense of their being like an illusion. Thus\, through the strength of the obscurations’ gradual elimination\, the nature of mind will be seen as empty\, in the equality of the absence of elaboration. \nThe Condensed Prajñaparamita Sutra says: \nPeople say in words\, “see the sky.” \nExamine in what way the sky is seen. \nThe Tathagata taught that phenomena also are to be seen like that. \nA different example of that seeing cannot be given. \n \n\n*bardo བར་དུ translates as ‘between stage (the period between death and rebirth)’
