Threads of Awakening Artist Leslie Rinchen-Wongmo is one of the only westerners trained in the rare Buddhist art of silk applique thangkas. and  His Holiness the Dalai Lama gave his blessings to Leslie’s work and encouraged her to make images that speak to the spiritual aspirations of people across religions and cultures. Leslie’s work combines the traditional and contemporary, and her fascinating story is the subject of the acclaimed documentary film, Creating Buddhas: the Making and Meaning of Fabric Thangkas. Leslie mentors a select group of students around the world through her Stitching Buddhas Virtual Apprentice Program, and her Weekly Wake-ups provide a thread of inspiration to set the week on the path to awakening.

    Hope all is well,

    I wish! But no. Just her quote. I saw her in Marin once as well — reading at a book store. I also heard her read in Santa Cruz once.
