人間無淨土 只有土中荷 (The Eternally Blissful Lotus Flower)

New Chinese Ink paintings artwork is released. Check out our latest peaceful Chinese ink art work that is inspired by the idea of grounding earth and meditative bliss.

The earth plays a crucial symbolic role to achieve the highest transcendental meditative state in Buddhism that is often symbolized with a lotus flower. When we can learn, grow from past mistakes, and let go of the control from all pain and sufferings that are imposed on us, we will be able to attain the highest level of eternally blissful meditative state and become free. The earth or mud symbolizes all human sufferings such as disease, evil, and pain. The mud is dirty, impure, and often ugly. But yet, it’s also full of micro-organisms and insects that can decompose and regenerate living plants, such as the unexpected beautiful lotus flowers we see in this painting. The earth is a powerful energy force that is full of nutrients. The mud can naturally help breakdown and decompose the old and help us welcome new life, lead to true happiness, and possibly create the rebirth of new beginnings.

Here, the mud, or simply, painful sufferings, serves as huge lessons learned as we continue the life journey. All mankind’s misfortune and illness, as one encounter in life can teach big powerful life lessons. Hopefully, one can learn, grow, and breakthrough, so one can practice detachment of the outcome and become free. When we are ready to learn from past mistakes and let go, we can continue to blossom like this elegant blissful lotus flowers and continue to smile and glow again.
