My task was to assist master Tibetan artist Tsewang Norbu with all of the decorative painting in the Maitreya shrine room and entrance of the new monastery. It was an incredible opportunity and experience. I learned a good deal about Tibetan painting technique, design and materials, and actively integrated various meditation methods into the painting sessions. Because I had come to KTC to begin the pre-retreat training program, I initially painted for 6 hours every day, which left time to attend morning and evening tsokpa and work towards completing my ngundro. As the deadline for completing the center drew nearer, I received instructions from Lama Norlha Rinpoche to continue painting instead of attending tsokpa or doing personal practice during the day. For the months of April and June I painted 10-13 hours every day. Sure enough, all of our painting goals were completed by the time the Monlam commenced. During the Kagyu Monlam, I helped to coordinate and carry out tea service for all chanting sessions throughout the 5 days, to all lamas and the hundreds of others in attendance. and the hundreds of others in attendance.)
