Deity Visualization practice

• Model: SeeDream

• Size: 2224 X 1664 (3.70 MP)

• Used settings:

  • Prompt: The important point to remember in the bordo is to recognize these deities (Yidams) appearances to be merely the projections of your mind. Therefore, working with the practice and visualization of a yidam such as Avalokiteshvara, the Buddha Amitabha or some other deity, is very helpful because by doing these deity visualizations in this life, you cultivate the habit of recognizing appearances as projections of mind. When you first practice these meditations, the form of the deity may be very unclear but as you con- tinue to practice, eventually you are able to gener- ate a clear image.

The Bell

• Model: QWEN

• Size: 2224 X 1664 (3.70 MP)

• Used settings:

  • Prompt: A young novice monk, her shaved head gleaming under an unseen light, stands barefoot on a floating atoll of smooth river stones, her saffron robes fluttering in the cosmic stillness. With one hand, she raises a brass bell whose silent vibration sends ripples through the spider-silk threads anchoring the island; the other rests gently on the shoulder of a bewildered elder—his ornate royal garments frayed, his crown askew—as if grounding him in this impossible moment. The web-strands beneath them glow like liquid silver, each filament thrumming with connections to other unseen realms, while the void around them stretches infinitely, depthless and serene. The girl’s expression holds boundless compassion; the old king’s face, etched with lifetimes of worldly burdens, begins to soften under her touch. Here, at the axis of humility and power, the bell’s soundless chime is the only scripture needed.

Conceptual Proliferation

• Model: FluX 2 (Ultra)

• Size: 2224 X 1668 (3.71 MP)

• Used settings:

  • Prompt: Conceptual proliferation (papañca in Pali) is a core Buddhist term for the mind's automatic, endless creation and multiplication of concepts, judgments, and mental fabrications, especially concerning a non-existent "self," which obscures reality and causes suffering. It's a chaotic stream of thoughts—driven by craving, conceit, and wrong views—that arises from sensory input, transforming a simple experience into complex, often negative, narratives about past, present, and future, trapping one in cycles of attachment and delusion. Key Aspects: Origin: Starts with sensory contact (sight, sound, etc.) but quickly escalates into elaborate mental stories, evaluations, and projections. Mechanism: A cascade of thoughts, feelings, perceptions, and mental formations that build up, creating a distorted, illusory reality. Drivers: Fueled by the "three unwholesome roots": craving (taṇhā), conceit (māna), and wrong views (diṭṭhi). Consequence: Leads to attachment, suffering (dukkha), conflict, and a mistaken sense of self (ego), hiding the true, empty nature of phenomena. Antidote: Mindfulness (sati) and wisdom are the direct opposites, stopping the proliferation and allowing clear perception of reality. Goal: The cessation of papañca, known as niṣprapañca, signifies enlightenment and freedom from delusion, revealing reality as it truly is—empty of inherent self.

• Size: 2219 X 1664 (3.69 MP)

• Used settings:

  • Prompt: A Dali-esque surrealist painting depicting the meaning of life as a luminous paradox. A lone figure stands upon a cliff of melting stone that bends toward an ocean of stars. The horizon drips like liquid time, and enormous translucent clocks bloom as flowers in the sky. Ants crawl over shattered hourglasses that spill constellations instead of sand. In the distance, faceless angels play violins made of glass bones, and a sun shaped like an eye weeps golden tears onto the sea. Every object carries impossible logic—crisp, hyper-real, yet dreamlike. The palette glows with molten golds, desert reds, and haunting blues, evoking both divine mystery and existential awe.

Walking out in the morning dew

• Model: Ideogram

• Size: 1728 X 1296 (2.24 MP)

• Used settings:

  • Prompt: Create a vibrant and imaginative scene featuring two figures: one representing the Zen Patriach Hakuin and the other a modern, futuristic character. The Zen Master has a light green skin tone, wearing a traditional japanese headdress. His body is athletic and muscular, clad in a black robe Next to him, a futuristic character, depicted as an alien child, has smooth black skin and is wearing a shiny silver bodysuit. This alien child has a round face with prominent features and two antennae on the head, further emphasizing their extraterrestrial appearance. The background is a gradient of blue and green, filled with various space and ancient japanese motifs: a cresecent moon, a split sun with rays emanating. To the right, a little girl in a glimmering silver dress with a sheer, dotted overlay holds hands with the futuristic child. The girl's hair is styled in a high puff, accentuating her youthful innocence. They stand together between wildflowers which are a vibrant chaos of organic ink splatters and delicate washes of crimson, cobalt, and ochre. Soft sunlight, a luminous glow bleeding through the paper, filters through the suggestion of trees in the background, their forms evoked by coarse ink work and muted washes of sage and umber. The overall mood is one of profound peace and harmony, a beautiful, award-winning piece that captures a quiet moment where human artistry and nature’s beauty intertwine. The technique is ultra-detailed and high definition, a masterful balance of the graphic and the poetic.
