Tathagatagarbha - Buddha Seeds
Of all my prints, “Tathagatagarbha” took me on the wildest of adventures. It began with a little magical synchronicity sprinkled here and there. But then the universe went to extraordinary lengths. The number of coincidences kept increasing and by the end were woven into a great web of interconnectedness that truly baffled the mind. For more details of this story and the process of making this print, visit the blog here.

“In every moment the universe is whispering to you. There are messages for you carried on the winds. There is wisdom for you in the morning songs of the birds outside your window and in the soft murmurs of an ebbing sea. Even ordinary, everyday events in your life carry communications from the realm of spirit. ”
