Cloaked in Bodhi


Cloaked in Bodhi... 18x24 oil on linen. Bodhi is the contemporary Western word for enlightenment. The Buddha reached enlightenment by sitting under a Bodhi tree, for many many years... It is also said that we are like a lotus, born from the mud, but rising through the water to reach the sun and light. This painting is where I want to be... my goal. Total enlightenment, and compassion for all sentient beings.
