The Copper Coloured Mountain: Pure land

January 4, 2021January 5, 2021 Ask the Mountains

A little snow leopard put her print in the snow 🐾 Tara dancing in the snow next to it ❄

10 x 10 cm. Colours used: white, blue and copper/gold.

Our Christmas altar. Put my new painting there next to Vajrasattva statue.

‘During practice, the Buddhas and bodhisattvas are omnipresent. They’re always here, but we don’t see them because of our obscurations. We practice in order to clear away the obscurations and to acquire pure perception—not with the eyes, but with the heart.’ ❤🙏🏻

The copper coloured mountain is also known as Zangdok Palri; Guru Rinpoche Padmasambhava’s non-physical pure land.
