A Buddhist Workshop at MIT
 
A tsa-tsa is a clay image of a Buddha or other sacred symbol impressed in clay. The workshop allowed us to gain merit by painting them. 1/24/04

   
Tenzin Priyadarshi Shukla, the Buddhist chaplin at MIT
Tenzin is next to Babette, a Tibetan Buddhist tsa-tsa maker.
A close up of the Thanka of Chenrezig, who represents universal compassion
The tsa-tsas, before we started painting them
We were supplied with acrylic paints and brushes
The pictures of people painting are Tenzin's, not mine <grin>
At MIT, even (?) the chaplins are technologically enabled
