Choe Ku, Lung Ku, Tuel Ku (Three Bodies)

Art Description

This piece is inspired from the way a traditional Buddhist altar is set up. In the altar, at

the center stands a Buddha statue which is referred to as “Choe Ku” or the “Ultimate Enlightened

Being.” On the left of the Buddha statue stands the “Lung Ku” or the statue of Chenrezig or any

reincarnation or form of Chenrezig, an enlightened being who remained in the human world to

help other sentient beings. On the right of is the statue of the saint Guru Rinpoche, who is believed

to be the second Buddha. No matter how big or small or how fancy or decorated the altar is, I have noticed that these three statues of enlightened beings are always set up in this way. I wanted to capture this combined and collective sacred energy of the three enlightened beings or bodies together

on an altar into this piece, to make, in a way, a painted altar.
