Buddha and Malunkyaputta
The Buddha asked Malunkyaputta to imagine a man who had been wounded by a poisoned arrow.

Abstract 2

Abstract 1
I’ve tinkered with my tsuboniwa a bit today and finished a painting I was working on. I posted the first painting in my last blog. Here is the one I finished up today: Another painting for my office 🙂
Consciousness and/or Humanity?
I like movies like the Millennium Man, The Matrix and Ghost in the Shell because they toy with these questions. Blade Runner was, I think, one of the first movies to explicitly try to raise these ethical and religious questions.
