Buddha in The Land Of Bliss (500) Print by Geoffrey Treissman

Buddha in the Land of Bliss. This painting was inspired by a meditation on an offering to the Buddha. Buddhists regard the concept of a “Pure land or Land of Bliss” as a destination where ordinary beings could aspire to or go to after death. Beings could come to this “Pure Land” without first becoming pure or enlightened. Once there they could receive instruction from the perfect teacher in the person of the Buddha. In this land, the conditions would be ideal for study, practice and eventually enlightenment. Here, this image also expresses a sense of spaciousness and transcendence. The original painting 90cm x 69cm was created on Ingres paper using mainly pastels. A4 print with bevelled mount in textured ivory approx 41cm x 33cm
