Enlightenment is a ceramic sculpture carved out of a block of white sculpture clay. The different shades of the glaze indicate the meditative state of the inner quest of the mind. What is enlightenment? According to Buddha, 'It is the complete and non attachment to your thoughts and in the absence on attachment to one's own thoughts, all that is present is love.' This is a perfect piece to inspire you every day. It belongs on the mantle of your living room or your meditation area or your study.

Deep within me, I am always searching my soul for knowing what is my true purpose in life and how I can fulfil it. I had this block of white sculpture clay which had been sitting for a long time. It became quite hard, hard enough that I couldn't roll it. I didn't really want to throw it. So, I decided to carve this image of Buddha out of it. I wasn't sure if it would turn out to look anything close to Buddha, the enlightened one. I know from my meditational practice that all answers lie within. Through an internal quest of the truth, all of us have the ability to become enlightened.
As Albert Einstein said, "A human being is a part of the whole called by us 'universe', a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feeling as something separated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and affection to a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty."
This is the compassion and kindness I wish to cultivate in my heart. They say that the real point of kindness is not paying back but to pass it on, i.e. pay forward.
