University of Kansas undergraduate Sam Boje, one of the students in Eric Rath’s History of Tibet course, took up the challenge and created a drawing of the head of a Buddha based upon Professor Yoonmi Nam’s template provided in a previous post.

Sam Boje also created several drawings inspired by Patrul Rinpoche’s Words of my Perfect Teacher, a required text in the Tibetan history course. One section of this work describes the suffering of beings in three lower realms of existence: hell, the realm of hungry ghosts, and the realm of animals. Sam depicted these in the following image.

Sam Boje provides a provocative and novel interpretation of Tibet Buddhism in both works, and we are glad to be able to share these with you.
