• Sukhi Barber was born in Hertfordshire, England. After graduation from City and Guilds of London Art School, Sukhi settled in Kathmandu, Nepal, where she spent the next twelve years studying Buddhist philosophy and producing sculptures based on the traditional techniques of stone carving and lost-wax bronze casting.

    Sukhi’s sculptures are intended to bridge the cultures of East and West. Embodying the peace and compositional balance of ancient devotional art, they represent complex philosophical ideas with a simplicity and clarity that renders them accessible on an intuitive level. Exploring themes of hidden potentials, and the transcendence of our limiting view of a solid reality, her work often represents the negative space as being as important as the material itself, implying the dance of form and spirit, a constant state of transformation.

    You can view more of her work (including sketches and news of her latest exhibitions) on her website.

With Mindfulness Strive On!

From Bristol Buddhist Centre on Thu, 22 Sep, 2011 - 01:00
The very last words of the Buddha were 'appamadena sampadetha': with mindfulness strive on! This talk is a reflection on those two last words, drawing out the qualities of mindfulness, as taught by the Buddha, and the quality of effort that will enable us to cultivate and develop it. This are teachings just as relevant to the contemporary beginner first learning the mindfulness of breathing meditation as to the seasoned renunciants attending the Buddha's death 2500 years ago.
