The circle formed by the thumb and index finger is the sign of the Wheel of Law. This mudra or hand gesture is indicative of an intellectual argument, debate, or discussion.

The sacred water vase remains perpetually full and represents the spiritual abundance of the Buddha.

Dunhuang art is a unique artform free from the restraints of classical Chinese, Tibetan, and Indian art forms. The geographic location of Dunhuang allowed for enough isolation for its artists to be free of Imperial traditions and academic restrictions.

The cartoon like coloration is indicative of Tibetan Thanka painting. The facial treatment demonstrates a love of Chinese Tang dynasty painting. The robustness and fullness of the body acknowledges the Indian concept of "inner light" radiating and bursting out from within. The love of rich ornamentation and depiction of jewels and flowing garments represents the outside manifestation of the beauty and awareness emerging from within.

The ornamental halo represents the fire of awareness and the entire form emerges from a single Lotus blossom. The roots of the Lotus begin in the mud below. The stem grows up through the water giving birth to a heavenly scented flower which lies pristinely above the water. Basking in the sunlight, the pattern of growth of the Lotus signifies the progress of the soul. From the primeval mud of materialism, the Lotus surges through the waters of experience and emerges into the bright sunshine of enlightenment.
