Torma: The Ancient Art of Tibetan Butter Sculpture

June 22nd, 2009 by George Gomez

THE ANCIENT ART OF TIBETAN BUTTER SCULPTURE

In January 2009 our film crew returned from six-weeks on location in Bodhgaya, India where we filmed interviews with His Holiness Karmapa, H.E. Gyaltsab Rinpoche, Ven. Thrangu Rinpoche, Ven. Mingyur Rinpoche, Lama Chodrak and several torma artists. We carefully documented monk and nun artists as they created many beautiful butter sculptures for the 26th Kagyu Monlam in Bodhgaya and captured some amazing footage for what will become the first torma documentary ever made.
