Feel like we're all perpetually trapped in this Marx quote: "Hegel remarks somewhere that all great world-historic facts and personages appear, so to speak, twice. He forgot to add: the first time as tragedy, the second time as farce".

Buddhist Quote for Today: A spiritual tradition is not a shallow stream in which one can wet one’s feet and then beat a quick retreat to the shore. It is a mighty, tumultuous river which would rush through the entire landscape of one’s life, and if one truly wishes to travel on it, one must be courageous enough to launch one’s boat and head out for the depths. ― Bhikkhu Bodhi See more: buddhistdoor.net

This is a scary time, but also one where people across divisions could in theory link up and offer real solidarity and support to each other.

We have a choice - allow different groups of people to be targeted, or show up and stand with everyone under attack.

Tissarakshita, Queen of Asoka by Abanindranath Tagore (Indian) - Watercolor plus gold & silver over graphite pencil on paper / c. 1911 - Royal Collection Trust (London, England) #womeninart #indianart #art #painting #womensart #অবনীন্দ্রনাথঠাকুর #AbanindranathTagore #fineart #indian #artwork #watercolor
In this painting, Tagore depicts Queen Tissarakshita, the young consort of Ashoka, the ancient Buddhist Emperor of India. He paints her face in profile with the distinctive arched eyebrow of Rajput painting. Perspective is minimal, and large areas of flat colour are enlivened by very subtle shading. What Tagore recognised as the bhava ('feeling') of earlier South Asian painting became the essence of his own practice. He captures Tissarakshita's conflicting feelings of triumph and regret as she stares at the wilting sacred Bodhi tree. Having heard her husband praise and send jewels to the Bodhi, she presumed the tree was another woman and out of jealousy gave orders for her rival to be poisoned. It is appropriate in many ways that this painting, portraying the consort of one of the earliest Indian Emperors, was presented to Queen Mary, India’s penultimate Queen-Empress. An admirer of Art Nouveau, it is possible that Mary identified a similar aesthetic of spirituality and nostalgia in the art of the Bengal School painters. Tagore’s Queen has been described as a quintessential fin-de-siècle femme fatale and, like many Modernist painters from South Asia, he has received both admiration and reproach for an apparent appeasement to Western aesthetic sensibilities and Orientalist fantasies of the East. Tagore pioneered the Bengal School, the first nationalist art movement in India. His works draw upon South Asian history and employ earlier South Asian as well as Japanese painting traditions using the ‘low-status’ medium of watercolour in direct resistance to the Western style of art practice represented by the work of Ravi Varma and taught at Government Art Schools in India. He is widely credited with the construction of a new "Indian" cultural identity during the independence movement.
