Dear listmembers,
for about two or three decades, starting at the end of the 19th century,
it was very popular in Sri Lanka monasteries to visualize buddhist
themes in a style which is reminiscent of theater performances.
I came across a monastery in Colombo where the complete Buddhacarita is
depicted in this painting style and I decided now to make a video with
(german accented) englisch eplanations.
If you are interested, please follow this link and let me know what you
are missing

It is creative apperception more than anything else that makes the individual feel that life is worth living. Contrasted with this is a relationship to external reality which is one of compliance, the world and its details being recognized but only as something to be fitted in with or demanding adaptation. Compliance carries with it a sense of futility for the individual and is associated with the idea that nothing matters and that life is not worth living. In a tantalizing way many individuals have experienced just enough creative living to recognize that for most of their time they are living uncreatively, as if caught up in the creativity of someone else, or of a machine.--Donald Winnicott, Playing and Reality
