Paint Night! The Eight Auspicious Symbols
FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 14
Time: 7 pm - 9 pm
Teacher: Grady Barker and Kadam Kyle
Cost: Free for members, $20 for non-members
For this year’s annual paint night, we will be painting the Eight Auspicious Symbols—an umbrella, fish, vase, lotus, conch, knot of eternity, victory banner, and Dharma Wheel.
These are traditional Buddhist symbols which depict our journey along the path to Enlightenment. The umbrella, for example, represents the Buddhist community and how our communal practice protects our mind. The fish represents the importance of harmony with others.
We will begin with a short talk explaining the symbols after which our experienced instructor will share essential painting skills. After that, you will have time to choose one or more symbols to paint yourself!
All painting supplies are included in the admission price. Registration is limited—please sign up early to guarantee a slot.
