Medicine Buddha with Healing Dakinis

[Fred vanderZee]

My picture of the Medicine Buddha with Healing Dakinis is finally finished It is based on a description of a Buddhist text, that is used in visualization meditation.

Magical image Fred.

Can you post a few detail images so we can see the image at actual size? The 800 pixel limitation makes it hard to appreciate a lot of the fine detail.

Another magical drawing, Fred. I second some detail shots.

Take care, Mike

Wow great work Fred. I don't know much about Buddhism, but I guess I can Google the medicine Buddha and see what comes up. I and I don't know what a Dakini is either except it rhymes with Bikini if Im pronouncing it right.

Beautiful work Fred. Yes I'd love to see some close-ups of the details too.

Bruce: I was curious, so I looked it up - according to Wikipedia a Dakini:

"... is a tantric figure designated as a female embodiment of enlightened energy."

Thanks all! I will upload some detailed pictures this evening.

For the impatient: you can have a look at my Facebook artist page, where you can follow the drawing process and get some more information on the subject and meaning of the image.
