15 Easy-to-Make Symbols to Bring Peace, Wisdom & Harmony into Your Home

The Japanese craft of origami, or paper folding, has long been associated with inner serenity and wisdom. As you progress from easy-to-make models of Buddhist symbols, such as the conch shell, pagoda and wheel, to the most challenging project – the Buddha himself! – you will discover how this most mindful of crafts can bring relaxation and happiness and unlock your creative potential. The seated meditating Buddha is a popular sculptural figurine, conveying an ambience of sacred peace and love. Rendered in origami, a seated Buddha gives you the added satisfaction of being the product of your own mindful workmanship.

Learn about the spiritual dimension of origami and its fascinating connections with Zen principles, and be inspired by the uplifting quotations when using your completed Buddhist sculptures for meditation.

This book includes:

• 15 sheets of origami paper so you can start folding straight away
• Simple, easy-to-follow fold guides and instructins for each symbol
• Uplifting Buddhist quotations and inspiring photography to encourage mindful folding

Buddhist Origami will develop your craft skills as you shape these lovely models of Buddhist symbols and make 15 unique gifts or decorations.
