Journey to Awakening

This artwork, inspired by the "Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva Fundamental Vow Sutra," portrays a central Bodhisattva figure, representing Ksitigarbha, surrounded by cosmic patterns and myriad beings symbolizing the diverse sentient lives across unimaginable worlds. The golden coloration reflects the Buddha’s divine touch upon Ksitigarbha's manifestations, an acknowledgment of the varied paths of sentient beings toward enlightenment—some readily receptive, others more resistant due to heavy karmic burdens. This piece visually celebrates the compassion of the Buddha’s teachings and the persistent endeavors of Ksitigarbha to guide all beings to righteous paths. Created by Yura Miron in 2024
