The secret of the Buddha's smile lies in the mastery of his mind through the practice of meditation. Yet, as alluring as the Buddha's smile is, many of us are still puzzled by it, for it presents many a mystery. Why is the Buddha smiling? What is he smiling about? How did he manage to attain the True Happiness that his smile represents? Perhaps most importantly, can we smile a similar smile too? Of course we can! Is that not the deeper reason why we venerate the Buddha ,so as to draw inspiration from him, so as to emulate his perfect compassion and wisdom? The good news is that ever since the Buddha smiled his magic smile, he shared on how we can too. thedailyenlightenment.com

Heedfulness is the path to the deathless (Nirvana; liberation from suffering of rebirth).
Heedlessness is the path to death (and rebirth).
The heedful die not (as they are alive with mindfulness).
The heedless are as if dead alr,eady (as they live mindlessly).

- The Buddha

....desenez zambetul.... desi nu l-am vazut niciodata....
....ma intreb cati din cei care au fost acolo l-au inteles....

O serie noua de obsesii... statuile din Angkor....si templele...
Nu o sa ajung acolo niciodata, dar fotografiile de aici :
ma influenteaza mult...
....prin fostele temple ale zeilor umbla paianjenii si serpii...
... cum se naste surasul iradiant si luminos pe sutele de statui din Angkor?....
nu e un suras fiziologic...nici un muschi al fetei , al buzelor nu il provoaca....surasul vine de undeva, dinlauntru....

angkor wat/ drawings

A vision last night before sleep: Leaves and leaves and leaves, leaves curling like shadows, awareness floating through, dream-like in chiaroscuro, golden-brown, parting darkness; emerging, but still into jungle, like roots over stones/crumbled buildings. Where am I? Angkor? I see jungle, no buildings. Still moving, I can't get beyond. I stand at an edge of giant formations, twisted, obscured by my vision. Dim light glows from the horizon. It might even be dawn but, though faint, the light's too bright for dawn in the north. Does tropical dawn come up brilliant? Is it candlelight? A billion flickering candles rimming earth's edge. I open my eyes again. You are not here, you are nowhere...I am awake, without fear. I feel I could have visions often, if I wanted, if I waited quietly for them. I question its meaning. Was it a prophecy, a remembrance, another life -- or just the meaninglessbeauty of living?

angkor wat/ drawings

"O Devayani,
classical art is
unnatural,
unentertaining,
non-instructional,
burdensome,
irreligious,
lifeless,
soundless,
airless,
smell-less,
motionless,
undramatic,
unpoetic,
austere,
square,
moral,
disciplined,
traditional/formal,
colorless,
dark,
noble,
hieratic,
symmetrical
repetitious,
invisible,
complete,
rational,
conscious
clear."

So said Ad Reinhardt while living in New York City and writing
about Khmer Sculpture in 196l in a booklet published by Asia House.

Therefore, obviously, classical art is needlepoint, stitching one hole at a time,
endlessly,
soundlessly,
effortlessly, mathematically, meditationally, with purity of heart,
prior to the
jungle's re-invasion.
