曼陀羅繪畫工作坊 Mandala Painting Workshop on 1 - 4 Oct 09

“曼陀羅”是一個超越時間､空間與不同的文化背景的古代冥想工具。因此，人們往往會被畫中簡單的幾何圖形及圖像背後隱藏的深度深深吸引，曼陀羅圖畫是遠超越一般藝術，在創造過程中，它是一段聯繫自我靈魂的旅程。因此，過往幾仟年來，人類應用曼陀羅這個工具來回歸自性本源。

在畫畫的過程中，導師Maria Ng將引導你經由你內心去創造個人的曼陀羅。作為曼陀羅圖畫的創造者, 並不需要任何繪畫技巧,只需要信任自己內在的指引。

Mandala is an ancient circular motif used by cultures spread across time and distance. At first glance, one is impressed by the depth portrayed by such simple arrangements of angles and arches. In truth, a Mandala is more than art, it is a journey to your soul. For thousands of years, humanity has used Mandalas for just this purpose.

In this workshop, you will be guided to create your own personal mandala. Artistic skill is not required.

畫出內心世界‧畫出精彩人生

繪畫創作可以減壓和陶冶性情，同時也是一種修心的生活藝術。

我在二○○四年尾，由於好奇心的駒使下參加了一個為期四天的曼陀羅繪畫工作坊，完成了人生中的第一幅曼陀羅「Tree of Life」。曼陀羅﹝Mandala﹞是印度梵文的音譯，是”圓”的意思，泛指軸心、圓周或奇妙的圓形、輪圓、壇城等，也有”輪圓具足”的涵義。原指的是佛教修行密法、觀想的道場，被視為是宇宙萬物居住世界的縮圖。也是宇宙整體之象徵。繪畫曼陀羅具有探索內心世界的力量，透過藝術創作﹝繪畫﹞進行自我療癒，從內心中湧現的圖像，將反映出自身最深入的特質，以創造性的活動轉化自己。

自工作坊以後，我便以繪畫曼陀羅為嗜好，在家中畫了好幾幅作品。後來漸漸得到別人賞識，繼而售出多幅作品。在二○○八年尾放下工作，全情投入地將自己的作品發展成為網上畫廊，生命從此變得不一樣。

我對畫曼陀羅之所以為之著迷，是來自一種筆墨難以形容的滿足感。每次開始畫一幅新作時，就好像進入了一個自我探索的旅程。當中夾雜著喜悅、平安、寧靜、超越、懷疑、傷心、憤怒、恐懼、執著、放下等情緒。過程可能是很平靜，也可能是很痛苦。而唯一可以肯定的是在完成作品後，心靈深處的黑暗面也幻化成一幅熣燦絢麗的曼陀羅，這種忘我的體驗就是活在當下、觀照內心、自我療癒的修行。

華嚴經第四會中云：「心如工畫師，能畫諸世間，五蘊悉從生，無法而不造。」

透過繪畫靜心、修心，就是對自己的生命負責。心是一切生命現象的答案。外在的世界是畫布，我們的思想和感覺是顏色和畫筆；只有一顆覺醒的、平靜的、常懷感恩的心才能轉化生命，創造幸福圓滿的人生以及團結、和平的世界。而一位善用其心的人，是最幸福、喜樂的人，因為他不僅找到了生命的意義與答案，同時活出了自己生命的價值，甚至啟發別人。
