The rich colors in this painting are all about the joy and suffering of Grandmaster JinBodhi’s childhood, as well as the ups and downs and realizations of his meditation practices. For Grandmaster JinBodhi, afflictions led to enlightenment. The seemingly bitter experiences of his childhood prompted Grandmaster JinBodhi to seek the root causes of suffering, which contributed to his enlightenment later.
There are two sides to every coin, in every goodness there is darkness, and vice versa. Joys and sorrows are a part of life. May everyone hold firm to their original principles to embrace a more brilliant life.
