painting - meditating - being happy
In Tibetan Buddhism, deities stand for certain qualities. By engaging with them, people connect with these powerful energies and become stronger themselves. These deities are usually painted on so-called thangkas, scroll paintings, which are only shown in monasteries during special celebrations.
One of the best-known thangka painters is Robert Beer, who produced the 50 drawings for this colouring book - breathtakingly beautiful and richly detailed. Through his precise knowledge of the exact iconography and his high level of artistry, the individual figures develop a tremendous power. This is transmitted during mindful colouring, which thus becomes a real meditation.
At the end of the book, the Buddhist deities are introduced. This overview provides a comprehensive brief introduction to the Buddhist deities of Tibet. The meaning of each figure is explained, what energy it embodies and what attributes are assigned to it. Depending on one's mood, one can, for example, awaken one's compassion, strengthen healing energy and mindfulness or simply decelerate while colouring.
Robert Beer writes in his foreword: "I wish you creative joy while colouring. May it bring you peace, awareness and the realisation of what you long for."
