Digital Photo Collage - Giclee on Canvas - 30x45" museum wrap with UV sealant - Artist Christopher Beikmann
"The Divine Sacred - Emerald" is part of a series of three similar photo collage pieces on canvas representing the "Three Sacred Jewels of Buddhism". Each of the three is unique representing a jewel in color - Sapphire, Topaz and Emerald. Each color is also limited to an edition of three hand signed giclees on canvas.
The "Three Sacred Jewels of Buddhism" are symbolic throughout Buddhist art and philosophy and not actually gem stones - they represent guidance and refuge for Buddhist followers:
I go for refuge in the Buddha. (The Buddha nature or ideal within all beings)
I go for refuge in the Dharma. (The teachings of the Buddha)
I go for refuge in the Sangha. (The community of those who have obtained Enlightenment)
