Previously I posted “Big Boy”, a depiction of the Big Buddha in Hong Kong. This time I’ve got one of the two paintings I’ve done of the figures attending to the Big Guy.
The Tian Tan Buddha in Hong Kong is surrounded by 6 statues known as “The Offering of the Six Devas” Each of these figures are posed presenting a different offering to Bhudda. The figure in this painting is making the offering of fruit, while the others offer flowers, a lamp, incense, ointment, fruit and music. These represent the virtues charity, morality, patience, seal, meditation and wisdom.
Stay tuned for the companion piece.
