The magical properties of Saffron
ཁ་ཆེ་ཤ་སྐམ་མ - A precious and delicately fragrant spice that has many healing properties, it contains antioxidants, it is anti-inflammatory and has anticancer properties. It can help with Alzheimer's and Parkinson's, and depressive and anxiety-like symptoms. It may also have aphrodisiac properties, especially for people taking antidepressants, the list goes on....
But more importantly for me - saffron is a symbol of purity and spiritually cleansing, often associated with its divine significance and vibrant colour. As saffron dyed robes worn by monks of ancient times, the historically Buddha wore the three Dharma robes of saffron.
Prayers and mantras are washed in saffron water as an offering and to cleanse. There are many uses of saffron within ritual practices.
However, true to the Buddhist principles, saffron is truly impermanent, as it fades quite quickly over time, especially in bright or direct sunlight, soon enough to totally vanish!
As Rilke said: “Impermanence is the fragrance of life”
Using a @prakticpen with a concentrate of saffron water as ink, the word 'saffron' is scribed in Tibetan umé, on a wash ground of diluted saffron water.

Of the three prominent styles of Tibetan Uchen script, the most practised is the founding khyungdri ཁྱུང་བྲིས་, then there is the lean style of dedri སྡེ་བྲིས་ and lastly nyedri སྙེ་བྲིས་ As illustrated here, Nyedri is perhaps the most different of uchen scripts, stylistically unique much because of the way it is written when using the traditional bamboo pen. As silica rich Bamboo glides more e...
དཀྱིལ་འཁོར - creating a maṇḍala
Переглядів 101Місяць тому
These days, the term 'maṇḍala' is used more generally within Western society. From being "the centre of one's own personal mandala" to decorative 'new-age' geomantic patterns. However maṇḍala in the true and original form, represents the divine realm of a particular Buddha or deity, based on sacred proportions in their creation. When drawing a mandala in this way, guidelines and set divisions a...

@Tashi-Mannox talks about “Pens, inks, nibs and all these things that can be temperamental - very messy. I mean look today cleaning nibs, my fingers stained, and this is after washing them! Getting pens to work .... There is a lot of preparation before we can even write beautifully” But is is all worth it! tashimannox.com/product-category/original-art/

With special thanks to @...
See how and why Tashi Mannox places three seals to his artwork.
Переглядів 1982 місяці тому
The placement of a seal (chop) is traditionally considered intrinsic to the overall composition of an artwork. Used to address balance, there needs to be a sense of spatial awareness where a seal is placed in relation to both the calligraphy, signature and the surrounding space within the paper edge. It is also at the artist's discretion; which particular seal is used to communicate one of seve...
Tibetan Cursive Umé Script

Once everything is in place: the right size pen nib, ink consistency, smooth paper and guid-lines carefully ruled. Only then, with a relaxed mind, posture and attentive focus, the scribe can write with unimpeded flow. With all such elements in place, there manifests a reassuring rhythm of writing, which results in spirited yet calm feel of the completed piece: “Your form body that one never tir...

Tashidelek! I wider if you ever use pens and if so, which ones? Greetings, Thupten Deyike
@@StelaGeorgievaKutova from where are you contacting me from. I ask because your location may change according to what pen types are available to you. There is a previous video on my channel here which explains different pen types with links to where to obtain them.
I'm in Spain. Thank you for your reply. I'll definitely search the video you mentioned about. 😊
OM AH HUM🙏🏼
Mastery!
Where can I study part I?
@@Dreulma wisdomexperience.org/tibetan-calligraphy/
Is that Bangla?
it is Tibetan.
I don't have the patience for it. But, I love that there are artists like you in the world!
@@YudronWangmo thank you 🙏🏼 it’s true, much patience and taming the mind and hand is needed.
@@Tashi-Mannox Hats off to you!
Awesome!
🙏❤️🙏
Jaw-dropping mastery, wow. How come when you're sweeping the brush, after applying leaf of gold, just written letters are perfectly left revealed and nothing else? Is it because you use dezo paper and the gold sticks to its rigid bark fibers really firm but areas that were covered with ink are not sticky at all?
@@antonkoval6048 it is because I first add gold -size (glue) to the area I wish the gold leaf to stick.
@@Tashi-Mannox Aah, now it's clear, thank you
Wonderful! Thank you.
Tashi Delek Tashi la, Years ago you recommended using a device called: Pilot Parallel Pens for Tibetan calligraphy Nib size 3.8. At present I use it now.
@@pemadolma7611 Tashi Delek Pema La. Yes I still hold by my recommendation, pilot Parallel are reliable for being easy to use fountain pens. Though strictly speaking the nib should be a shallow oblique for writing Uchen, but as an easily accessible pen, it is currently the most convenient on the market.

It’s sooo beautiful! One day I hope I can buy one… 🙏🏼
REALLY INSPIRING
Excellent skill.
I am an engineer. I view things from that mindset. But, I was tortured by my Eastern European Mother to learn good Roman and Cyrillic penmanship. I never forgot that. Seeing this exquisite penmanship, I hope one day, it can be digitized so as to make it permanent in the cybersphere. Tashi Mannox is a MASTER CALLIGRAPHER. Losing him would decrease humanity....IMHO.
Excellent calligraphy!
Lovely
Hi Tashi, I have just sent you a message on Facebook. It's great to hear your words of wisdom on UA-cam. You are an excellent teacher. More please. Have you considered collaborating with Arabic calligraphers? Your style in this painting and the Muslim-looking tower sounds like that would be a marriage made in heaven! Islamic calligraphy is everywhere in the Muslim world, and a good place to start could be Morocco. I have lived in Morocco and am studying Darija and Islam now that I am a Muslim as well as a practicing Tibetan Buddhist. Un abrazo hermano, Martin Zopa (BarefootShaman)
Great
This is beautiful ❤
Mesmerizing, thank you, Tashi 😊
Long Life
thank you

I love just watching you. It is so relaxing. The music is great too, do you know where i can get the soundtrack ? Thank you :)
This soundtrack is not publicly available as far as a know. It was personally shared with me by its composer and producer Jeremy Hagry.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge, you got me hooked! I am so glad to have stumbled across this. Greetings from Australia 🙏
Wow, So beautiful 🙏
