About The Artist

In creating his art, Chuntui Lama says he begins with a handmade canvas that he paints with pigments from Nepal and Tibet. He further explains that "the mandala represents a sort of floor plan of the palace(and mind) of the deva, who can be seen as a sort of archetype of the higher nature of the Buddhist practitioner. The intricate visual elements of the mandala are highly symbolic. The design is actually a set of mandalas, of Enlightened Body, Speech and Mind, one within another, and within Mind, at the center point, the mandala of Enlightened Bliss."
