Shadow of Buddha series (1996–2005)

Attending Buddhism classes and worshipping gods, many of us exhaust all routes to finding Buddha. Yet we learn to realize that holiness exists and can be found effortlessly if one only makes the right judgment between good and evil. Buddha represents the sentient masses just as the sentient masses represent Buddha. The state of holiness, or Buddha, is attained when all is equal and remains so with the tireless efforts of all living beings.
