Empty

This artwork is drawn with the motif of the Buddha statue known as ‘羅怙羅尊者像.’ The statue reveals an open chest, with the Buddha seated inside, conveying the teaching that there is a Buddha within the heart of every human. But is it truly so? There are times when I perceive myself as a terribly bad person. Feelings of envy, guilt, and subtle deceit, all concealed as I desperately navigate through life. Is the Buddha really within me? Inside my chest, I feel a profound emptiness.
