In the course of the film, we see her produce a thangka of the deit y Green Tara, a female Buddha.\n\nFabric thangka is a silk embroidered and appliquéd art form in Tibetan Buddhism and is also known as Appl ique Thangka/Brocade Thangka/Silk Thangka.\n\nThis is a skillful and m oving film about the thangka maker, Leslie Rinchen-Wongmo. She is cons idered a master thangka maker and is one of the few female makers in w orld. Her love & devotion in this spiritual work are captured in the f ilm. She studied for 9 years at a fabric thangka workshop in Dharamsal a, and met with and received the Dalai Lama’s blessing before she de cided to return to the West and bring the gift of fabric thangka to ou r culture.\n\nThe film explores Leslie’s life-changing journey of di scovering fabric thangka, her apprenticeship in Dharmasala, India, the step-by-step by process of producing a fabric thangka, and the histor y and spiritual importance of thangka making in Tibetan Buddhism, enha nced by comments/interviews with Buddhist teachers such as Glenn Mulli n, Robert Thurman and China Galland.\n\n\"This film beautifully captur es the essence of the life and work of an extraordinary woman blessed with the talent to preserve and pass on an extraordinary tradition. An eloquent and visually sumptuous meditation on what it means to create sacred art.\" --Reverend Heidi Singh, Pasadena, CA\n\nThe Filmmaker, Isadora Leidenfrost will be present for discussion after the film.
