Chapter IV – Part 2 – Treasury of the Buddha Law

The translucent layers in both of the art pieces are representative of the multiple layers, the various ways of being in our lives. In each case nothing is completely covered over, nothing is eliminated and especially in the last piece every layer is required in order to form the whole. ...
