What if you set out to travel the world and got sidetracked in a Himalayan sewing workshop? What if that sidetrack turned out to be your life's path--your way home? Part art book, part memoir, part spiritual travelogue, Threads of Awakening is a delightful and inspiring blend of adventure and introspection. Leslie Rinchen-Wongmo shares her experience as a California woman traveling to the seat of the Tibetan government-in-exile in India to manage an economic development fund, only to wind up sewing pictures of Buddha instead. Through her remarkable journey, she discovered that a path is made by walking it--and that some of the best paths are made by walking off course. For over 500 years, Tibetans have been creating sacred images from pieces of silk. Much rarer than paintings and sculptures, these stitched fabric thangkas are among Tibet's finest artworks. Leslie studied this little-known textile art with two of its brightest living masters and let herself discover where curiosity and devotion can lead. In this book, she reveals the unique stitches of an ancient needlework tradition, introduces the Buddhist deities it depicts, and shares insights into the compassion, interdependence, and possibility they embody.… (más)

I am a fiber artist so I really enjoyed reading this ebook. Thank you!

For me, the title and synopsis were misleading. I was expecting a mechanical study of the process of making Tibetan design textiles from fabric. Instead, Threads of Awakening: An American Woman’s Journey into Tibet’s Sacred Textile Art is a memoir of the author’s journey toward enlightenment, from the germ of possibility in middle school, to a more practical plan in business school, to a full-blown adventure as an adult and moving to Kashmir, an area where Tibetans could live outside of China’s martial takeover of Tibet. The forward of the book is written by the Dalai Lama himself. ( )

This book is a wonderful introduction to the Tibetan tapestry--its' construction and meanings. The detail in the second half is a weaver's treasure of how to instructions. Even though this is not my area of art interest, I found the information fascinating nevertheless and it gave me a great appreciation of this media.
From a practical standpoint, I would skip the life story and go right to the artist portion. ( )

This author is a brilliant story-teller, just phenomenal. This work covers such a unique, yet interesting topic. The chapters are short but powerful. The photographs and artwork inside are beautiful. I'm so glad to have read this book and I can absolutely see myself re-reading it many times in the future! HIGHLY RECOMMEND! ( )

Threads of Awakening: An American Woman’s Journey into Tibet’s Sacred Textile Art.. is not just written, rather crafted by Leslie Rinchen-Wongmo..

This is not a book that you can settle down to read over a day or so. The detail in it is considerable, the author has crafted her memoirs beautifully, from her first impression and her desire to learn how to create “thanka” Tibetan textile art or tanka/thangka, to
her ongoing study of this wonderful ‘textile language’.

The wonderful illustrations, especially of the appliqués and traditions, invite the reader into a world of patience, and attention to detail, while the respect of the religious practices that are the foundation of the thangkas, binds all. I loved the intricacies of the thangkas, especially the lotus flowers.

Many thanks to Leslie Rinchen-Wongmo for such a colourful and inspirational experience. Thanks also for admitting that she has enough fabric to last several lifetimes… I feel a lot better when looking at my stash now.

I can see myself revisiting this book time and time again.. ( )

Traveler, there is no path. The path is made by walking. -Antonio Machado
Nature uses only the longest threads to weave her patterns, so that each small piece of her fabric reveals the organization of the entire tapestry -Richard Feynman
For us, painting and sculpture are the two finest forms of art but, for Tibetans, applique and embroidery are an even higher art. -Glenn Mullin
In order to work with a teacher, there needs to be a student. We often skip over this: It's easy to waste time going through the motions of entering te room for a face-to-face teaching, but to not really be a student-to just be someone who wants to debate, or prove something. Often, a real spiritual meeting is not available even though the bows have been made. Yet once a student develops, it is inevitable that a teacher will appear in their life. They create each other. -Bonnie Myotai Treace
The bad news is you're falling through the air, nothing to hang on to, no parachute. The good news is there's no ground. -attributed to Chogyam Trungpa

For the Tibetans who welcomed me. For the teachers who taught me. For Mom, Dad, and Francesco who have given me more than could ever fit on this page. Thank you.

This is a book about wonder.

To wonder, you have to loosen your grip on what you think you know.
As a little girl, I'd fancied myself a Saturnian, an explorer from that most beautiful and idiosyncratic planet, the only one adorned with rings.
Perhaps here, where no one knew me and where I knew English better than anyone, where I wasn't expected to know the local language or customs or to be witty or right, the anxiety lost its function to keep me safe from embarrassment, I could finally let go.
There are advantages to being foreign and thought of as an eccentric with good intentions. You can get away with breaking some norms.
Perception is not fact. Colors do not exist inherently but are co-created in our seeing them. And seeing is not neutral. Seeing is a biased activity.
