"Vajra
Moon" is a mandala of fullness, completion and integration
that was inspired by the full moon high in the Himalayan night
sky. Its colors come from the lovely handmade silver jewelry by
native artisans featuring blue lapis, burning coral, mountain
turquoise and mystical moonstones believed to protect travelers on
their journey. The Tibetan word "vajra" means diamond or
thunderbolt and is associated with highest Tantric Buddhist
practice.
This
mandala also celebrates the timeless moments after the "big
bang" when yang has turned to yin and before the cycle begins once
more. Sixteen cabochon moonstones guard the inner lotus palace of the
deities, and the Tibetan symbol for OM is seen at the four points of the
compass.
Shown below, the original painting is set in a stunning silver frame. An
exacting and challenging study in shades of silver, "Vajra Moon" is
indeed a tribute to the Divine Feminine!
