Warrior


By day shines the sun;

by night, the moon;

in armor, the warrior;

in jhana, the Brahmin.

But all day and all night,

every day and every night,

the Awakened One

shines in splendor.


Dhammapada, 26

oooo val! perfect match of words and "music!" i love the colors and the scape at the top! and the small pair of eyes, who is looking over my shoulder at this moment, says "it looks like a tower of a great wizard."

Val, this is lovely. The painting is wonderful, it almost looks three dimensional, is it? The building is rising out of the frame. How did you do that?!!!

Wonderful, Val! Very moving painting and words. It's interesting how often the Vedas are quoted here. :)

The colors are magical and mistical.
