  • The images are highly spiritual and sacred. Please respect all course materials, tools and images at all times.
  • Please be aware that while drawing these divine images, you as an artist bring these images into this world to benefit the mankind. In this position the artist becomes the creator of the deities. An artist should remain humble, kind, compassionate, selfless and anonymous. 
  • While drawing please sharpen your pencils every 2 minutes, if it is 0.5 Mechanical or wooden pencil. It is highly recommended to draw face and meticulous details with 0.3 and other areas with 0.5 Mechanical Pencil. 
  • No names are ever written on the drawings. You can write date or serial number. 
  • When we look upon these images, or meditate upon them or practice them or draw/paint them, we develop attributes possessed by each image. Attributes of generosity, morality, renunciation, wisdom, perseverance, patience, truthfulness, determination, love, kindness, compassion and equanimity. With practice we cultivate these attributes until one day we are filled with them. Then we become one with the deity or enlightened.
