POISON· Ignorance
The Animal Realm
Tiryagloka · The Realm of Instinct
◈ Artwork
Paint: the animal world — creatures of land, water, and air, preying and preyed upon, beasts of burden; among them the liberating Buddha holds a book, the speech that dispels ignorance.
Suffering · Servitude & Fear
Driven by instinct, hunted or harnessed, unable to know the path or choose it.
The Buddha’s book is open even here — a spark of awareness can dawn in the dullest dark.
