This 13th century central Tibetan diminutive figure of an enlightened teacher and possibly a lama has been cast in bronze and gilded. The figure wears an unusual headdress that frames the head but which leaves the hair visible at the back. He wears the robes of a monk with the right shoulder bare, a thick fold across the chest, and a heavy, wide sleeve over the left arm. (height: 8.4cm, width: 6.8cm, depth: 3.7cm, weight: 213g) The figure has a wide face, almost pursed lips and elongated ears. The top of the head has either a Buddha-like cranial protuberance or the finial of the headdress. The teacher sits cross legged with the left hand open and resting on the lap at an angle, and the right hand in the 'earth-touching' gesture. This gesture mirrors the Shakyamuni Buddha's enlightenment at Bodhgaya. When other historical figures are accorded this gesture it suggests that the person most probably has become a buddha or an enlightened on in his life.

This is a mixed media piece where I took a painting I did of Quan Yin and added a photo of waterlilies from a local park and layers of texture

Everyone of us should be a #Boddhisattva bringing the ultimate dimension into the present moment. So we can arrive and stop running. So we can be relaxed and joyful, so we can make #peace and enjoyment possible for humankind.
