Contemplate the mind through observing adorable companion beasts and mounts.
The thoughtful depiction of the Four Great Bodhisattvas left viewers exclaiming, “So that’s what it means!” or “Now I understand!”
Traditionally, bodhisattvas have been depicted as solemn and kindly, helping the living beings in a variety of ways. This time, Prof. Lee Sun-Don has reinterpreted the image of Bodhisattva from the unique perspective of an artist. The viewers will realize that Bodhisattva is not remote and unattainable, but rather manifests itself in our daily life, which we can all see and feel.
How does the mount, which represents the power of Bodhisattva's wish, normally interact with Bodhisattva? The artist's answer is: "Change the position"! Thus, the thoughtful version of the four great Bodhisattvas, Kuan Yin, Manjushri, Kṣitigarbha, and Pushyān, quietly reveal the secret of being friends with the four great Bodhisattvas from their names. When viewing the artwork, many people strongly praised, "I see"!
