CHARIKA (JOURNEY) “I have seen a celestial paradise on a clear night. I saw it from the roof of the world. And in the morning, among sublime peaks that rose from mist-filled valleys I watched monks play cricket, and pray for enlightenment.” NK, 2007 Tawang, Arunachal Pradesh.
With a prayer for the swift fulfilment of all wishes, a blessing for the young monk pursuing his destiny in the Pali [sacred text] series. Accompanying him is his patient tulku, an enlightened being who chooses to continue to reincarnate in order to help others achieve enlightenment. The motif of the padma [lotus flower] series, floating above the murky waters of material attachment and physical desire, reminds our monk of his ultimate goal. A background of yellow to the lotus symbolises the meditation to transform pride into simplicity; of green, the transformation of envy into accomplishment.
(Available unframed £2200)
