Vajrasattva is the priest of the 5 Transcendental Buddhas. His practice is one of purification through the realization that in your true nature, you were never impure. He is visualized in the foundation meditation practices of Tantra, with the aim of generating Bodhichitta, the cosmic will to enlightenment. He is represented in two forms, single and yabyum. He is usually white in color and sits crossed legged with a dorje (vajra) in his right hand with palm upward against his chest and a bell in his left resting on the left thigh.

The Divinity School is a beautiful medieval building and room in the Perpendicular style in Oxford, England, part of the University of Oxford and was built between 1427–83.
This room doubled as the Hogwarts School hospital in the Harry Potter films.
The building is physically attached to the Bodleian Library, which was also used as the Hogwarts library in the films.

"The progress of faith in those who are being created anew is as follows. Initially such people are without any life, as no life exists in evil or falsity, only in goodness and truth. Afterward they receive life from the Lord through faith. The first form of faith to bring life is a memorized thing - a matter of fact. The next is faith in the intellect - faith truly understood. The last is faith in the heart, which is faith born of love, or saving faith."

I've been playing lots of Divinity Original Sin 2 lately (~180 hours of pure gameplay), and I must say it was the first thing since DA:O that impressed me that much.
To anyone who's (surprisingly enough) following me: I doubt that I'll show any new paintings soon, but I guess now I'm brave enough to show some screens. So yeah, gotta mess with your feed soon ha-ha xD
Anyway, welcome :'}
What is divinity if it can come
Only in silent shadows and in dreams?
Shall she not find in comforts of the sun,
In pungent fruit and bright, green wings, or else
In any balm or beauty of the earth,
Things to be cherished like the thought of heaven?
Divinity must live within herself:
Passions of rain, or moods in falling snow;
Grievings in loneliness, or unsubdued
Elations when the forest blooms; gusty
Emotions on wet roads on autumn nights;
All pleasures and all pains, remembering
The bough of summer and the winter branch.
These are the measures destined for her soul...
Wallace Stevens
In every breath, a universe unfolds,
Each atom a testament, ancient and bold.
In rivers that flow, in mountains that rise,
The divine essence, a silent guise.
From the flutter of wings to the stars' dance above,
All intertwined in a tapestry of love.

Two of the 216 faces starring at you from the heights of Bayon.Cambodia.
A translation of King Jayavarman VII`s mystic Buddhist beliefs, Bayon is a spiritual experience. From each of the survivng towers the enlightened grin of the Boddhisattva Avalokitesvara, one of the most worshipped divinities in Mahayana Buddhism and the kingdom's principal divinity, compassion radiates out in the four cardinal directions. Carved in the likeness of the King himself (his portrait is known from other sculptures found elsewhere in Cambodia and Thailand), these enigmatically smiling faces portray the King as god, symbolizing his omnipresence and omnipotence.
Was able to get the rig higher than my previous attempt.

St. Philip's Church, Charleston, S.C.
~
On a beautiful night in May, we had dinner at one of Charleston’s fine restaurants, Tristan, now closed, sadly. (Charleston is noted for being “food obsessed”, an obsession that works out particularly well for us.) Afterward, we wandered around the downtown area looking for interesting photo opportunities.
Although the wind was high that night, the church stood still long enough to capture some interesting frames, with a beautiful ice-ringed moon as a backdrop.
Built in 1836, St. Philip’s Church features an imposing tower designed in the Wren-Gibbs tradition. St. Philip’s is the oldest religious congregation in South Carolina, having been established in 1681.

Gratuitous side-by-side of the two Sacred Lotus girls. I also have Devotion from the collection but she has redressed and moved on, and refuses to appear in the group shot, LOL.
