Since March 2008, when Tushita main Gompa first opened its doors, Tushita has been very blessed by several visits from Kyabje Lama Zopa Rinpoche. Rinpoche has given extensive advice for the development of Tushita main Gompa. As well as the Statue Projects, Rinpoche has given detailed advice on the painting of the Gompa, both inside & out, based on consultation with Jhado Rinpoche & Khandro la. So we are extremely fortunate to have such guidance and such a rich painting vision.

We would like to share with you the current future vision and join us in strong prayers that we are able to fulfill all the advice given in the fullest and most beneficial way possible.

The Inside Painting Vision

Stage 1 - The 10 Powerful Mantras are to be painted in Tibetan and English on the gompa beams along with some Dharma verses.

Stage 2 – On the main walls, the 12 Deeds of Shakyamuni Buddha will be painted. Plus Rinpoche has advised that the gompa walls be painted orange and the gompa pillars yellow/orange.

Stage 3 - The future painting vision, is for a Maitreya pureland to be painted above the central statue of Lama Tsongkhapa, leading into the painting of the Gelug merit field below, above and around the main statue.

Stage 4 - In addition, Rinpoche's vision is for 4 mandalas to be painted in the 4 ceiling sections above the main altar – the mandalas of Vajrasattva, Namgyalma, Mitrupa and Kunrig.

The Outside Painting Vision

Stage 1 – The painting of the Gompa eaves. Rinpoche suggested some local projects to visit and investigate their designs.

Stage 2 – Advice has been given for the the balcony and wall areas above the main steps. Rinpoche has advised for the 21 Taras to be painted in the pillar archways above the main red door on the ground floor. As well as, the Medicine Buddhas to be painted in the archway above on the first floor. Plus, 3 long life deities to be painted on the walls flanking either side.
