Karma Sherab Gyaltso (Kenny Ng), was born in 1982
came from South-East part of Malaysia, better known as the state of Sarawak
(Borneo), in a city named, Kuching. He was born in a traditional yet humble
family background and is the eldest son among his other three siblings. Since
young, Karma always had the desire to draw at a very young age. His drawings
depict the god and goddess deities, Buddha and Bodhisattva picture etc. of
Buddhism on drawing papers. As time passes, the seed of Buddha grew in Karma
and his relationship with Buddha became much closer.
In 1997, under the guidance of The 14th Shamarpa Rinpoche,
he (Karma) has taken refuge in Buddhism as a Buddhist follower. Since May 2000,
Karma has finally offered body, speech and mind and involved himself into doing
Buddhist work with the blessings of the Triple Gem and soon after, he became
the founder of "Namkhyen Gyaldar Buddhist Art and Cultural Centre"
Karma, using gold and silver pens, crayons, colour pencils,
water colours and other stationary tools has drawn Tibetan thangka, Chinese and
Tibetan calligraphy, Mahayana Buddhist art, Thailand and Japanese Buddhist art
and other Buddhism art around the world.
In 2005, he went on a journey to learn about the Buddha
Dharma, searching all over the different Buddhism Culture and Art of Life to
places like (Kuala Lumpur, Negeri Sembilan, Melaka, Johore, Sabah) states in
Malaysia, Singapore, Taiwan, (Si Chuan and Tibet) China. Later, in year 2008,
he came back to his home in Kuching with a deeper passion in the Buddhism
belief and began his journey by using his Buddhist culture hand-drawn art
hoping to spread the teachings of Buddha Dharma with hopes that the Buddha
Dharma will last and grow with compassion and wisdom to benefit all sentient
beings.
