Locana, female Wisdom Buddha

 

Locana is the personification of the Mirror Like Wisdom of Akshobya, the blue Buddha of the East. Her name means "she with the eye" or "she who is illuminated by the Dharma". The eye as in The Eye of Wisdom"

I am currently exploring the five Prajnas, the five female wisdom Buddhas and making images of them, both digitally and with pigment on surfaces.  Locana is the first Wisdom Buddha in the series. Her element is water.

This is a set of digital finger paintings created on the iPad inspired by the Mandala of the Five Buddhas.

Akshobya, Dark Blue Buddha of Time of Dawn

I painted this a few years ago. Today I wish to connect with Akshobya's imperturbality.  Touching the earth I breathe in.
