Exhibition of Paintings
Triality: The Inner journey
Thursday, August 21 to Wednesday, September 3
The paintings by Helen Jandamit in this exhibition synthesize ‘insights” that have arisen over half a century of continuous practice of Buddhist Vipassana meditation. Those insights are hinted at and combined with energy signatures derived from Samatha
Jhana states (absorptions). |
|
 |
The paintings are inter-dimensional and suggest a profound integration and freedom
that transcends duality – thus the name – Triality.
The triangular forms symbolize that state of mind.
All the paintings are in oil on canvas. In many of them, crystals are integral to the images. |
You can also see a selection of spiritual paintings by the famous Thai artist Amnart Klanprachar who is now the monk,
Phra Amnart Ophaso.
|
Different in style yet similar in inspiration:
It’s a fascinating juxtaposition. |

Vipassana Introductory courses
Introductory courses are highly recommended for those who genuinely wish to practice Vipassana meditation.
¤ They make clear the differences between Vipassana (Insight) meditation and Samatha (Calmness) meditation.
¤ They provide ongoing feedback in an interactive and personal way. The maximum number of participants is six.
¤ They are not silent throughout. There is plenty of opportunity to ask questions.
¤ Whilst participants will be given a comprehensive explanation of basic Buddhist ritual, nobody is expected to participate in that ritual if he or she feels uncomfortable.
¤ The shrine room is air-conditioned and chairs are provided if preferred.
Participants will gradually be guided through exercises to improve their concentration and bare awareness "sati", including standing, walking, sitting and lying down exercises.
