It is an article of faith for the non-violent that no man has fallen so low that he cannot be redeemed by love.

(possibly?) attributed to Mohandas Gandhi by Pie-Raymond Régamey, citing Louis Corman's Une école d'héroïsme: les campagnes non violentes de Gandhi (page 31)

"Master, Master!" the tension between them is broken by the boisterous cry of the loudest monk Ritsuka has ever known. Kiara's hand surreptitiously drops from the small of her back, and she feels a disconcerting mix of relief and loss at the retreating touch.

Her thoughts are scattered as Caster bounds down the hallway, her strides eating up the ground between them until she comes to her feet before them, grinning at Kiara.

"Ah, a dancer!" The Third Beast of Humanity claps her hands together and tilts her head like an excited young lady at a festival. "My, Chaldea truly is open to all kinds. Master, you truly have put together a special collection of people."

Sanzang's boundless energy halts, and with heartfelt, almost passionate solemnity, she bows with her hands clasped together. "Namo Buddhaya," she intones, and her eyes hold a weight of wisdom and uncreated joy, like bubbles of light trailing up from a stone cast into deep water. The moment melts away as her puppy-like cheer surfaces once more, and she turns to Ritsuka, clasping her hands in her own. "Why didn't you tell me, Master! A nun, another nun is here!" They both stare at her, Sanzang up in her face, giddy and gleeful, while Kiara waits at a more appropriate distance, one eyebrow arched in inquiry.

Fujimaru Ritsuka, once the Last Master of Humanity, has spent more than two years here, in Antarctica where the wind always whistling and howling on the windows is drowned out by the even more constant chatter of humanity's greatest heroes (and some villains) in constant discussion, camaraderie, and, often enough, argument. She has mediated disputes between Darius III of Persia and Alexander the Great, between Nero of Rome and Boudica of the Celtic Iceni, between Minamoto-no-Raikou and Shuten Douji, Atalante and Fergus--she has personally reached the heart of a god of Central America through words and actions, and negotiated peace with a vengeful spirit (she is kind of proud of it, too). Her ability to connect with other people, to read the room, is… really her only skill. It’s something she has faith in.

Her palms begin to sweat.

"...Right. Yeah, I guess I should... introduce you?" Sanzang nods at her. Kiara continues smiling.

"So, uh, this is Alter Ego, Sessyoin Kiara," Sanzang gives her a small wave, and Kiara tilts her head, smiling radiantly with closed eyes. "...And this is Caster, Xuanzang Sanzang."

"...Oh?" Kiara's expression does not change. She continues to smile, gentle and relaxed. But Rituska feels a chill down her spine, feels her heartbeat pick up its pace, and a strange pressure fill the room. "What a pleasure it is, to meet another woman who has taken the Bodhisattva Vow for the sake of all living beings.”

She makes eye contact with a passing staff member—Marcus—before he puts his head down and hustles quickly down the hall. Ritsuka’s not the only one who has had to develop a keen sense for tension.

You might think Sanzang would have that kind of intuition as well—or at least have learned to be a better judge of character, after being kidnapped by so many disguised demons. But, well, the Journey to the West wouldn’t have been quite as memorable a story that way.

She thinks of tendrils and eyes, splitting flesh and tangling outward from head, from chest, in a small room far below the ocean. Her skin crawls.

“And especially one so accomplished. I believe it is thanks to your efforts in your time that I was able to receive the Dharma in mind. She is motionless, just for a hair too long, looking Sanzang in the eyes. “Yes, I owe you a particular debt.”

“Kiara, uh. I think we have to keep going to make our appointment with the acting Director.”

“… A shame,” she says. “Truly.” She doesn’t shift her posture in the slightest.

"Awww, are you busy? Sorry for taking up your time! But we should totally have tea later! I think I would learn a lot from talking with a like-minded follower of the Buddha!"

Sanzang, please stop being so friendly, she thinks, just this once.

“If you want,” Kiara says, “perhaps it will happen. I think you will find my understanding of the Dharma to be quite unique.”

And Ritsuka takes that as her cue to grab her hand and pull her down the hallway, waving at Sanzang with a tight smile as they go.

The Meaning of Karuna

Karuna is a Sanskrit word and is used in Hinduism and Buddhism. It is translanted to mean any action that is taken to diminish the suffering of others and could also be translated as "compassionate action." When individuals experience enlightenment, they report that all beings are known as one. Therefore, it is natural to extend compassionate action or Karuna to everyone without distinction because we are all one. As we help others and aid them in their healing process, all beings benefit. Because of the oneness of all beings, it is understood that Karuna is not only extended to others out of love, but also because it is an entirely logical thing to do. In the same way that you would want to heal your own wounds, you would also want the wounds of others to heal. It is also stated in the Buddhist literature that Karuna must be accompanied by parjna or wisdom in order to have the right effect.

Karuna is the motivating quality of all enlightened beings who are working to end suffering on Earth. They continually send an unlimited amount of healing energy and guidance to us, but not all are receptive to it. As you develop Karuna in yourself, not only are you helping others, but you also become more receptive to the Karuna that is being sent by all enlightened beings. Thus your healing is quickened as well.

“Through cultivation of friendliness (मैत्री maitrī), compassion (करुण karuṇa), joy (: मुदित mudita), and indifference (उपेक्षा upekṣā) to pleasure and pain, virtue and vice respectively, the consciousness becomes favourably disposed, serene and benevolent.”

Since it's the last day of the year, I wanted to look back on a drawing series I started this year, but managed to get only halfway through ultimately (still got 10 ladies to make if I counted right); a set about my Telepaths-storyline ladies with action poses and a BG.

I decided to put these in order from my fave to least favorite so far;

From top to bottom right: Yume, Haname & Mari, Yui, Taiga & Toshiko, Karuna & Franziska.

More musings about the order below, in case you're curious;

Yume was the first one I made and I still like it the most; I just love how her face came out.

Haname's piece is a close second, as I really liked the colors and contrast in that one.

Toshiko was initially higher up, but given I redesigned her outfit, I feel like I need to redraw hers eventually anyway...

Franziska is my least favorite, because I feel she doesn't really blend in with the BG well enough. It doesn't feel like she's inside a setting, but rather slapped on top of a 2D image lmao.

Karuna is at the bottom, mainly because as cool as the piece looks, the image doesn't really represent her personality that well (she's opposite of aggressive, and very friendly lol)

Seeing Possibility in Suffering Being intolerant of suffering, in the Buddhist sense, does not mean that we reject it or fight against it. It means that we stop and look at it, not morbidly, but with faith in the possibility of living a joyful and peaceful life. — Gil Fronsdal, "Living Two Traditions" (Photo: Lake Tahoe, California, May 2014) #Satipațțhāna #Maitri #Metta #Karuna #Mudita #Upekkha https://www.instagram.com/p/ClWJkMNrqLp/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Buddhism and the Dialectic of Deliverance…

Buddhism and the Dialectic of Deliverance…

Buddhism needs no fancy metaphysics nor linguistics, multiple hells nor forty-two flavors of emptiness. Kindness & compassion are enough, metta and karuna and all that jazz. Which is one of the singular beauties of the faith, of course, that almost nothing is required up front, but some goodwill and a policy of non-aggression, ahimsa, such that oftentimes simply doing nothing, absolutely nothing,…

One can see twin symbol of Sun and Moon being placed on the steeple of stupa (most of the Chorten) which represents wisdom and methods. Other than that, it appears that the stupa (chorten) architecture of those eras had given so much of significance to Sun (star) and Moon (satellite) because of its significant influences on our human system. The importance of Moon is that our body behaves differently at different phases of moon and reproductive process in women are directly connected to moon’s cycle. All life on this planet is solar powered. Without Sun, life is near impossible.
