Padmasambhava with a Cloud of Dakinis

inspired by Padmasambhava’s cloud of dakinis. 
“Oh you who are encircled
With an entourage of dakinis
……
You must come here to give me your blessing”

 

Meditating

 This is a painting of an early evening meditation where I found myself in a vast cavern of unknowing filled with a mass of subtle energies, 

the whirling thoughts and remnants of past actions and connections

permeated by the blessings of the bodhisattvas, 

transparent, insubstantial and permeable to all that arises and passes. 

In the words of the great shaman guru Padmasambhava, "I do not know, I do not have, I do not understand." . 

The certainties of life, the certainties of youth, are in the past.
