ISBN:  9781647420932 (paperback) : Description:  xvi, 309 pages, 32 unnumbered pages of plates : illustrations (some color) ; 23 cm Requests:  1 Summary:  "Part art book, part memoir, part spiritual travelogue, Threads of Awakening is a delightful and inspiring blend of adventure and introspection. Leslie Rinchen-Wongmo shares her experience as a California woman traveling to the seat of the Tibetan government-in-exile in India to manage an economic development fund, only to wind up sewing pictures of Buddha instead. Through her remarkable journey, she discovered that a path is made by walking it--and that some of the best paths are made by walking off course. For over 500 years, Tibetans have been creating sacred images from pieces of silk. Much rarer than paintings and sculptures, these stitched fabric thangkas are among Tibet's finest artworks. Leslie studied this little-known textile art with two of its brightest living masters and let herself discover where curiosity and devotion can lead. In this book, she reveals the unique stitches of an ancient needlework tradition, introduces the Buddhist deities it depicts, and shares insights into the compassion, interdependence, and possibility they embody."-- Publisher.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Art, Music & Recreation 746.09515 Fr Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 746.09515 Freilich Item being held Add Copy to MyList Kealakekua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 746.09515 Fr Checked In Add Copy to MyList Makawao Public Library Adult Nonfiction 746.09515 Fr Checked In Add Copy to MyList Pahoa P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 746.09515 Fr Checked In Add Copy to MyList
