Zen/Magic Pictures

Thought Classification

A diagram of some of the lesser known, but still incredibly useful, lists in Buddhism.

Non-locational Consciousness

Personal experience of losing the location of consciousness during meditation. Original sketch and digital.

Yoga Nidra

Graphical representation of sinking sensation of body and consciousness during the practice of Yoga Nidra.

Holding On and Letting Go

A sketch and digitised picture, showing the main benefit of meditation: letting go; in contrast to holding thoughts.

Buddhist Lists 1

The same picture as 'Thought Classification'????

The Buddha's Life

A map showing the main events of the Buddhas Life.

Intention to Develop Certain Qualities


An unfinished picture. The idea was to draw up something inspirational which listed the qualities I would like to develop in myself. I think actually being aware of what you lack of could do more of is helpful for your focus and possibly merit-making.

Buddhism and Hinduism

A map showing the setting of Buddhism, and the differences between Buddhism and Hinduism.


Buddhist Lists 1

Same as the other two Buddhist List Pictures


Buddhist Meditation and Theory


Buddhist Principles

The principles of Buddhism via the main lists, in a single sketch.


Concentration


Dharma Friend Possibilities

Lessening romantic obsession and attachment with possibility and metta.


Dharma Willing Plan 2007

A pictoral sketch of my personal direction and possibilities until 2009


Fire Pig 2007 Intentions

A sketch of my main goals for the Chinese Year of the Pig (not ashamed to admit that I'm a pig myself).


Freeing Feelings From Story

Giving up the ego's stories, we can face our suffering and in turn become more compassionate to others and open within ourselves.


Healing Repeating Thoughts

How meditation calms the mind, over time, forever.


Hindrences and Concentration

A self-explanatory sketch showing the Buddhist hindrences.


Hindrences and Concentration 2

Self-explanatory diagram (improved) of the hindrences to concentration.


Intention and Spells

The individual components of a magical spell in western magic/new age beliefs, to be tied in with Buddhist ideas of Karma and intention.

Self-explanatory mind-map of the kilesas

Very rough sketch concerning my current spiritual practice.

The essense of my current spiritual practice and thinking, as it was and as it is (written as two sentences).


Mahayana

Rough sketch of what makes Mahayana different from the rest of Buddhism.


Mercury Map Desires

I thought it would be a good idea to have all magical intentions classified according to the planetary system, and then make a seperate mind map for each planet. The map itself becomes a focus for direct energy raised during practice.
