HIMALAYA - (SISSU in the mist)   (Volume 3)

This painting is actually simply titled Himalaya but from others painted of Sissu, it is apparent that this is the monastery depicted here and so I have added the title in brackets. The main hue of this painting is a light transparent yellow. The mists engulf the monastery of Sissu and it appears to be floating in the sky. This is rather like our higher mind when we can experience a sensation of floating up away from our worldly concerns. Through such beauty one is reminded of the reality behind the material form – the heavenly temple with its spiritual community.

The main music expresses this floating sensation and then struck bowls enter in - gradually getting louder – even as the (mystical) monastery slowly appears from within the mists. Descending slowly from higher realms, the community of Buddhist monks gradually enter our realm and act as a bridge to relay these refined spiritual energies out to all of humankind.
