Coles Tibetan Calligraphy: The Meditative Practice of Uchen Script at Village Green Shopping Centre in Vernon, BC
*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
Originally created to convey the teachings of the Buddha, the classical Tibetan Uchen script is venerated as sacred; each letter is considered a bodhisattva and is formed in divine proportions. In this book, master calligrapher Tashi Mannox distills his decades of study and practice into the first-ever comprehensive English-language manual on Uchen.
Tibetan Calligraphy begins by tracing the script's evolution from its seventh-century origins through diverse regional styles to its modern incarnation. He then guides readers step by step through the tools, posture, and techniques required for the smooth lines and sacred proportions of Uchen. The reader then learns how to form the individual letters of the alphabet, compound syllables, and punctuation marks, as well as traditional manuscript composition, the construction of mantras, and the role of seed syllables within the mandala and chakra principles.
Richly illustrated throughout, this is at once a working instruction manual for the aspiring calligrapher and a meditation on writing as spiritual practice.
