San Francisco Asian Art Museum AsiaAlive: Korean Buddhist Art Date: Friday, January 18, 2008 Start Time: 12:00 pm End Time: 4:00 pm (Time Zone: US/Pacific) Location: (Bogart) North Court Category: Demonstrations and Activities Description Inspired by the hugely successful series on traditional Korean Buddhist arts in 2003, the museum is thrilled to present another artist residency by three gifted Korean monk/artists: Seol Min seunim (a female monk and master painter formerly called Jae U seunim), Myung Chun seunim (also a renowned artist), and Sung Ryun seunim. The program will consist of painting demonstrations and hands-on activities for the public. Visitors may create their own woodblock prints of a Buddhist sutra, the "Heart Sutra," (Banya Simgyeong in Korean), as well as create rubbings of the Buddha and a stone pagoda. The program will culminate on January 20 with a sacred eye-opening ceremony of two hanging scrolls that the monks are donating to the museum. In 2003, Seol Min seunim completed a new painting of the Guardian King of the West, which she then donated to the Asian Art Museum.

The Buddhist monks were painting when we were there. Also it was amazing to wander the galleries and look at the many statues of Buddha and Hindu gods. Filled with silence. I will be back! PS Just for contrast, I haven't visited a TM facility in about ten years.
