PROJECT
Plum Village - The Wake Up
CLIENT: Plum Village - Lower Hamlet
FIELD: Buddhist monastery
TIME: 2023
PRODUCTS: Illustration Graphic
At the end of 2023, L.luscious had the opportunity to carry out a meaningful project of Plum Village in Vietnam. That is to make 3 illustrations for practice here.
For our team, volunteer work in Buddhist monastery holds profound significance as it embodies the principles of selflessness, compassion, and service to others. Engaging in volunteer activities within the monastery is not merely about fulfilling tasks but is seen as a spiritual practice, a way to cultivate virtues such as generosity and kindness. Through their selfless service, volunteers not only support the monastery's physical needs but also nurture a sense of unity and interconnectedness among all beings, embodying the essence of Buddhist practice in their actions.
PRICING: Non-profit
Happy Youth
The first picture L.lucious drew for Plum Village is "Happy Youth". In a Buddhist monastery, the concept of a "Happy Youth" is cultivated through teachings that emphasize mindfulness, compassion, and inner peace. Young individuals are encouraged to engage in meditation practices that foster self-awareness and emotional balance, allowing them to navigate life's challenges with equanimity. Within the serene ambiance of the monastery, they learn to appreciate the present moment and cultivate gratitude for the simple joys of life. Through service to the community and study of Buddhist principles, they develop a sense of purpose and fulfillment, laying the foundation for a joyful and meaningful adulthood rooted in wisdom and compassion.

Meditation Tea
The second picture is "Meditation Tea". In a Buddhist monastery, "Meditation Tea" serves as a cherished practice that offers students a moment of serenity amidst their busy schedules. After engaging in periods of meditation or study, students come together to partake in this ritual, finding solace in the simplicity of brewing and sipping tea mindfully. Each step of the process, from preparing the tea leaves to pouring the steaming liquid into cups, is imbued with intention and mindfulness, encouraging participants to focus fully on the present moment. As they sip the warm tea, students not only nourish their bodies but also calm their minds, deepening their meditation practice and fostering a sense of inner peace and connection with their fellow practitioners.
Meditation Relaxes
The last picture is "Meditation Relaxes". "Meditation Relaxes" serves as a vital practice for students seeking inner peace and mental clarity. Guided by the teachings of mindfulness and compassion, students engage in meditation sessions to relax their minds and bodies, shedding the burdens of stress and distractions. Within the tranquil confines of the monastery, they find refuge from the hustle and bustle of the outside world, allowing themselves to fully immerse in the present moment. Through focused breathing and introspection, students cultivate a deep sense of relaxation that permeates their entire being, alleviating tension and promoting a profound sense of calm. In this sacred space, meditation becomes a powerful tool for students to recharge their spirits and nurture their well-being, paving the way for a life imbued with peace and harmony.
