from Your Own Magic · host Raquelle Mantra

If you've ever come across a colossal mural featuring countless Buddhas lined up side-by-side, you might have witnessed Amanda Giacomini's renowned "10,000 Buddhas" masterpiece. Amanda has graced the world with the beauty of this artwork. Her 10,000 Buddhas project was inspired by a pilgrimage to the Ajanta caves in India, where she encountered a two-thousand-year-old mural depicting a thousand Buddhas meditating together. In this memory lane episode, she discussed her inspiration, the significance of the Buddha's image to her, overcoming creative setbacks, her artistic process, decades of yoga practice, and her collaborations with her husband, MC Yogi (on last week’s episode).
