5th Transmission Weekend - The meaning of Buddhist symbols: Understanding statues, stupas, and thangkas
Starts at 00:00
We’re all attracted by the beautiful and fascinating forms of Buddhist imagery, but how much do we really know about the thangkas and statues that adorn our walls and stand centre stage on our altars? Can we tell difference of Enlightenment Stupa from Kalachakra Stupa?
This, the fifth Transmission Weekend in the Europe Center, will give us a chance to learn all about the general symbolism and inner meaning of these keys to the enlightened mind.
