THE LIVING BUDDHA IN STONE

Sculpture of the Buddha

TARA SINGH, my teacher of A Course in Miracles, had many pictures of “Holy Beings” at the Foundation, where he lived and worked. One of the most impressive was this sculpture of the Buddha, which was in profile. It could bring the mind to silence just looking at it. The frontal view is not as powerful, but it still has the peace to impart. When the sculptor has entered into that state of inner peace and stillness, he can imbue the work with the very essence of the Buddha…then it ceases to be an artifact, and rather becomes a transmitter of the living Presence of the Buddha himself.

EYES WIDE OPEN

EYES WIDE OPEN is a gallery of paintings

with BABAJI, JESUS and the DIVINE MOTHER

The paintings in this Gallery of EYES WIDE OPEN have been painted over the past three years in locations around the world. I see Babaji and the Divine Mother in the paintings……they are not mere images….but more like “presences”…coming about through a sustained attention to the face, the paint and the process. I am always surprised myself at the final result, which is never preconceived. This Gallery is of the paintings with EYES WIDE OPEN…..they can be used for meditation…and even having your own darshan, holy vision, of the Masters.  Enjoy.

BABABJI & AMMACHI IN URUGUAY

PAINTINGS DONE TOGETHER IN PUNTE DEL ESTA, URUGUAY

MY experience of Uruguay is one of relaxation. From the moment one arrives at the airport in Montevideo, throughout the drive amidst the country side and the towns, Uruguay is a different energy than other South American countries. One senses much more “psychic order” in the air, and the people are more relaxed and present. This atmosphere lent itself for me to paint the Divine Mother with “eyes open”. This set of paintings together measures 80CM X 120CM
