Dogisatva

The fourth of a set of seven Tankas created as part of the All Live is Sacred series, each with inspirational quotations and animal Buddhas.

The featured quote by Reverend Nan Sea was inspired by a newspaper article, unfortuntately the author's name long-forgotten:

“If one where able to take all the love in the universe and distill it into the soul of a single creature, who that has know the love of a dog could deny it would be found there. The universe in the eyes of a dog.”

Also subtly interwoven into the art are the words ”All Life is Sacred” and a wonderful prayer said each morning by his Holiness the Dalai Lama:

”As long as there are beings to be found, may I continue likewise to remain to soothe the sufferings of those who may live.”—His Holiness the Dalai Lama
