“As a Buddhist, I view death as a normal process, a reality that I accept will occur as long as I remain in this earthly existence. Knowing that I cannot escape it, I see no point in worrying about it. I tend to think of death as being like changing your clothes when they are old and worn out, rather than as some final end. Yet death is unpredictable: We do not know when or how it will take place. So it is only sensible to take certain precautions before it actually happens.”
Dalai Lama
I have different views to the Dalai Lama about death and a next life but I do believe in the chthonian element of nature and a great primordial force from the bowels of the earth.
In this photo video shoot I am holding a red chthonian neon after holding a simple cardboard box sculpture with a doorway glued to the back of a brown paper bag.
However, I love the Dalai Lamas idea that his religion is simple and it’s a philosophy of kindness.
In conclusion I think constantly checking and rethinking one’s ideas and beliefs about the world is very important and in my mind no idea is ever one hundred percent fixed.
