SARA VARADY STUDIOS
"The Portal is Open" is an oil painting (150 x 100 cm) inspired by Padmasambhava, the Second Buddha who introduced Vajrayana Buddhism to Tibet in the eighth century. Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche describes the Eight Manifestations of Padmasambhava as an exploration of the nature of perception. Central to understanding Padmasambhava’s achievements is the concept of ‘crazy wisdom’—actions that arise directly from realization and refuse to compromise with duality. In other words, you are already 'that', which you will see as soon as you realise this.
By connecting with this insight, we can recognize how it’s possible to break free from the constraints of our own perceptions in an instant. My painting depicts the immediate effect of self-realisation and salvation. Through this piece, I aim to encourage you to feel that, regardless of your circumstances, there is always a path from where you are to where you want to be. Your portal is open, ready for you to step through. Remember, you are never alone.
