I have taught 2 classes and 1 more today. 3 for the first week to ease back into it. It is going well so far. The students have bright and shiny faces and when I try to remember their names, they DO all look alike. I am typing again for longer periods of time which is great.
We plan to go to a museum exhibition tomorrow at the Tianjin Museum. It is called "The Light of Dunhuang-Mogao Arts Exhibition". The Mogao Caves, or Mogao Grottoes, also know as the Caves of the Thousand Buddhas, form a system of 492 temples. The caves contain some of the finest examples of Buddhist art spanning a period of 1000 years. Construction of the Buddhist cave shrines began in 366 CE as places to store scriptures and art. The Mogao caves are the most well known of the Chinese buddhist grottoes and are one of the 3 famous ancient sculptural sites of China. The art will be from the caves. I will then go for reflexology and a neck massage by a Korean who has a certification as a Traditional Chinese Medicine Doctor. I went with a friend last week and it was quite an experience.
We will try to get some pictures of the artwork to share.
