What is "suffering inherent in conditioning" (saṃskāraduḥkhatā)?
"… this form of suffering generally goes unnoticed by ordinary beings, where it is like a wisp of wool in the palm of the hand, but it cannot be ignored by noble beings, where it is like a wisp of wool in the eye"

Inspired by Jung and Zen philosophies, he was adamant that his paintings were significant as symbols. He believed that the ego was the enemy of true art and assumed the role of artist as a maker of magic.

is the Buddhist Path to end suffering (= fourth noble truth):
1) recognizing that all things are illusionary like a dream (परिज्ञान)
2) getting rid of negative emotions and karma (cleanig the mind) (प्रहाण)
3) or realizing Emptiness (= Suchness, Buddha-Nature) (साक्षात्कृति) ?
