This set from Ehi Passiko opens with the controversial figure of Duldzin Dorje Shugden. The fierce Yidam and Dharma Protector was seen as like a guardian angel by Kadam Buddhists but often seen as a dangerous presence in other traditions. This lead to suspicion and mistrust of his practitioners but I have to honestly say they are some of the kindest and most compassionate people I’ve ever met. He was seen as Buddha Manjushri appearing in wrathful form. The first four pages here show me and Kev going to Manjushri temple in Ulverston to receive some Empowerment. After that is a drawing of a dream I had had about thousands of rats but for some reason had wanted to convert them into wolves and patterns of them. After that was a drawing of the waiting room at my new doctors’ surgery and a drawing of a Dan Flavin sculpture at the Tate where I was with Jasmine one day.
