Happy Monk.
In Buddhism, equanimity, or peace of mind, is achieved by detaching oneself from the cycle of craving that produces dukka. So by achieving a mental state where you can detach from all passions, needs, and wants of life, you free yourself. I think we can sometimes feel this state of well-being when we just wake up in the early morning. That’s why I made this painting.
