Our thought is like water running in every direction. But just as water, when channelized, becomes powerful, so it is with our minds.

—The Dalai Lama

Painting is like meditating for me. In deep meditation, I can let my mind go beyond the daily discriminative thoughts and emotions and reach a more meaningful and beautiful image of life. When I am very focused on my painting, I start seeing things more clearly.

“Our ancient experience confirms at every point that everything is linked together, everything is inseparable.”

― Dalai Lama XIV
