From the Sāgaramatiparipṛcchā Sūtra བློ་གྲོས་རྒྱ་མཚོས་ཞུས་པའི་མདོ།
- a short verse requested by Sāgaramati to Lord Buddha Shakyamuni -
རྣམ་ཤེས་ནི་མི་རྟག་པའོ།
ཡེ་ཤེས་ནི་རྟག་པའོ། །
'Consciousness is impermanent.
Wisdom is permanent.’
This is accompanied by the seed syllable dhīḥ illuminated on a aura of gold, and as explained in the audio, belonging to the Bodhisattva Mañjuśrī - the embodiment of wisdom.
This small compilation piece was created by #tashimannox to test how certain inks and gold leaf behaves on Bhutanese #deshopaper which first needed to be sized with egg-white, as the paper surface was found to be a little absorbent and fibrous for the inks - both brushed and scribed using @pratikpen - especially created for Tibetan Calligraphy.
