Workshop with Nor’dzin Pamo

aro-ling-shrine

The creation of amulets is an ancient Tibetan craft. They are particularly associated with healing and protection, as amulets contain mantra, syllables and sometimes herbs. The decorative form of an amulet is both functional and symbolic. The amulet is woven while reciting mantra and the threads contain and secure its contents. Designs used for amulets include the five colours of the elements, the colours of the psycho-physical channels, and symbols such as the eternal knot, yungdrung and mandala.

Ngakma Nor’dzin will explain the use of amulets and how to create them. The simple designs are quite straightforward and all attendees will be able to create an amulet to take away to wear, or hang up at home.
