The Regal Snow Lion is somewhat fierce and quite Mythic in its Nature . The Snow Lion has a tradtional roll as Protector of the Cultural and SpiritualTeachings and Treasures of the People of the Himalayas. Especially Tibet, where the Snow Lion is on the Flag of Tibet and on Tibetan money. He is also the personal Seal of the Dali Lama.
As a Mythological Being the Snow Lion represents a Psychological Archtypal Principal.That is the principal of Maintaining , thus Protecting and Preserving the Insightsand Awareness of the Original Mind and the Heart of Creation.That is No small Task.
This Cat is full of Supernatural Magical Powers. He can Fly,Leap from Mountain top to Mountain Peak, Journey Interstellarly, Transmit messages Telepathically,Remembers Everything Eternally, and does Interdimensional Time Travels. All good qualities for reaching into the experiance and paticipation of the Multitudes of the Mythological Worlds in all existence.
So here in this Painting the Snow Lion is portrayed on a Mythic Mountain Summit ,Contemplating
and Gazing through the Radiant Rainbow Light of the Evening Sky, Dharma Dancing with the Invisible Spiral Of the Energistic flowing of the Heartbeat of Creativity in Motion. Merging with the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas of the Pure Realms . Snow Lions Gaze focuses on the Constellation of the Pliades. It is believed to be the Origin Point of Awareness, the Blossoming of the Dharma and is the Portal of the Bio-photons . It is a belief held by many of the Perennial Civilizations. The Hopi, Zuni, Mayan, Tibetan............
Wow ! Mr. Venerable Snow Lion is about to go on a Journey to the Pliades. It is there that a Novel Version of the Blossoming of Awareness and the Compassionate Application of it's Intrinsic Spontaneous Power of Wisdom and Love can be restored and Brought Home for the Benefit of All Sentient Beings. Here comes 2012,
How did Honshin create and paint the Magical swirls of the Invisible becoming Visable Spiraling Energies
that permeate All of Creation? Well it is the intrinsic result of meditating on every Painting that I have
ever had the Privilege of doing before I started the Snow Lion painting. Every brush stroke retaining and using the Knowing Moments of all the other Brushstrokes that came before the One of the Precious Present Moment. As I begin the Painting by laying down the Ground, defining the Sacred Space, a Pure White Background ,like the Original Mind. Each stroke is done with the Large Flat Brush and becomes the Dancer in theTimeless Dance of the Energy that is Creation, as it Flows and Moves in the EternalRhythms of the Spheres.
Before I ever Know what will follow in the Manifestation of the Mythic Living Symbol, the Foundation of the Work is Laid. Portraying the Dance of the Cosmic Energies of the Invisible that Interconnects and flows through all Things.
It is from this Dance that the Sacred Space is defined in its Sacred Rhythm , Its Perfect Harmony,and Its Radiance, Bringing the Viewer to that Transcendent Moment where the World as we know It is Stopped. There in that Gap between our Thoughts, the Inner Dwelling of the Synaptic Lightening Flash, that is where and when our Hearts and Minds are set Free , if only for that Precious Moment . Indeed it is a Golden Moment,that can be Cherished and Honored with Gratitude for Lifetimes.
