Checkout the Full project in Artstation : ArtStation - The Fourth Lake of Bodhi
Lore:
Long before the doors of Shambhala was closed to the mortals, there used to be 6 lakes of ‘Shadripu’ around the city. ‘Shad’ - six, ‘Ripu’ - Enemies. 6 lakes of purification from 6 deadly enemies of human mind. Kama (desire), Krodha(Anger), Lobha (Greed), Mada (arrogance), Moh (Delusion), Matsarya (envy). ‘Mada’ (Arrogance), the fourth ripu, being the most destructive among six. The Larger figures of Amitabha in the 4th lake bears the sign of the presence of greater beings which crushes ones arrogance and makes it relatively pointless.
Mortals had to visit these 6 lakes and purify their soul and leave their Ripus behind before they can step on the doors of Shambhala. Many traveller in the past decades left home to find Shangri La, and came across few of these Lakes. The calm breeze of the lakes echoed in their ears “look within yourself, you will find Shambhala” little did they know, the keys to Shambhala lies deep in the lake OR within themselves.
