I have been searching for inner peace. We all have heard stories about how Gautama Buddha asked us to follow our Dharma and leave all worldly materialistic things. At this point of my life I am still struggling to let go. Thoughts are always as to how to let go and move on to get inner peace. One day I was contemplating to paint a modern art or go for mythological figures, thought struck me why not paint myself in front of Buddha. I felt it is for me a step closer to Buddhas teaching. I have put a lot of effort to create the old charm and the time that Buddha was there. This is my tribute to Buddhas teaching.
This charming prologue is a fitting tribute to a colorfully portrayed land of the Buddha. The choice of colors is in keeping with the vibrant aura surrounding the hallowed grounds of the Lumbini Gardens, where the Shakyamuni was born (although we have never been to the Lumbini, the backdrop in the paintaing certainly takes us there). Please keep up the great work!
