Samsara
It took me forever to get this painting to be ok.
Had to lay it down and pick it up again, over and over..
While working on it there was the strugle ( that is there more often..) between working from the soul and working from ego..
Ego has th; I can use my tools to create this the way i want it to be.. the soul tells me to let it be.. accept the flow.. clearly this struggle is not only present while i paint.. but the painting helps me to see and understand more.
Samsara in buddhism en hinduisme stands for the cylce of death and rebirth without a start and end, under the influence of illusion and karma and filled with agony.
The presence of the mentale states of desire, aversion and ignorance form an important aspect of the existence of Samsara. Music
Samsara is the world as we ordinary human beings experience it, and where the mental and emotional states of desire, irritation and confusion often get the best of us.
Samsara the Movie
“Samsara” is a spiritual love story set in the majestic landscape of Ladakh, in the Himalayas, about one man’s quest to find enlightenment. Tashi, a brilliant young disciple, is just completing three years of solitary meditation in a remote hermitage. Brought out of a deep trance, Tashi is taken back to his ancient monastery where he slowly recovers his strenght, but his return has unexpected results. Despite a life devoted to the rigors of spiritual development, he finds himself experiencing a suprisingly profound sexual awakening. These feelings coincide with his journey to a village to perform a harvest blessing where he meets Pema, a beautiful young woman. For the first time, Tashi begins to question the spiritual values of his monastic existence, realizing that one has to experience worldly existence in order to renounce it. Through Tashi’s eyes, this spiritual and moving love story chronicles one man’s discovery of the promise of “Samsara” – the world.

Martilena
Oh yes… I can relate to this struggles….. but…. when is a painting OK??? When is your life OK??? etc etc etc….. My…. we think to much, where we should FEEL more and believe in (and accept) the directions we’re given….. Actually talking to myself now….lol…..
Btw….. the painting is beautiful and very OK…...:)))))
liesbeth replied
i smiled while reading this Ineke..glad i’m not the only one ;)))
agree on the feeling and believing.. accepting .. could read trusting..but that’s where i have difficulties every now and then.. for in trusting that life is ok as it is..means the pain is part of that too.. and i still feel the opposite in this ;)) glad you let me be part of your ‘talking to yourself” knuffel xx
Maria Louise M...
I can certainly relate to the ‘ego/soul’ struggle! I love the light in this. In fact, as soon as I saw it I knew it had to be one of your paintings! Your soul shines right back at me as I look at it! Wonderful!
liesbeth replied
thank you for these kind words Maria.. you knew it was one of mine.. can’t help it but again you make me feel, geez… i love the part though where you say it shines back at you.. what you see is what you hold inside yourself ..;)))) that sure is wonderfull XXX
Tezz
Reaching the guiding light through the turmoil …..such turbulent energy and a wonderful painting Liesbeth…..and bottom left is Tashi…contemplating his future!!!
(Did you put him there?)
liesbeth replied
thanks Tezz.. i had no idea so many could ‘feel’ this painting so well..
As for your question..i didn’t put him there.. i noticed the two faces and knew now it was time to stop..had no idea who ‘he’ was..and was hoping someone else would notice…to get a name is more then i could ask for..;)) Thanks for that..
