#four seals

[retroas]

an old art I drew of one of my characters. Probably posted on a blog I can’t remember the name and password to. I wonder if a peep I talked to is still here somewhere? My memory effed up after losing more relatives and my pet ferret. Remember doing stuff, can’t remember words. I honestly don’t think I will ever post the entire plot due to how big it became and how tired I am of thinking about it. Even a side story like Lunatics sounds too big to work with.

An incarnation of one of the main antagonists of my multiverse, an ex-goddess of fate, adopted by main protag who would probably never recover from the horrors of his life. At this point, I feel like my post-story story has grown beyond the story and gone from fantasy horror survival to a chaos of myphology and futuristic nature of how protag is so done with all cross-dimentional bs, and that he just wants a normal life with his kids, who are... far from normal. Well, protag is not exactly normal himself.

We Are the Four Horsemen (Part 3)

We Are the Four Horsemen (Part 3)

And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword (Revelation 6:4).

Can you imagine a person, full of so-called righteous indignation, riding on a fiery-red horse of zeal while wielding the word (sword) of God? That’s what I see when I read this…

1.1 Prostrations to all buddhas and bodhisattvas. 1.2 Thus did I hear at one time.The Bhagavān was dwelling at the place of the nāga king Sāgara together with a great assembly of 1,250 bhikṣus as well as a multitude of bodhisattvas and mahāsattvas. At that time the Bhagavān said to the nāga king Sāgara: 1.3 “Lord of the nāgas, if one utters these four aphorisms of the Dharma, in uttering them one is expressing all 84,000 articles of the Dharma. What are the four? They are as follows. 1.4 “To fully engage in understanding the inexhaustible doctrine of the bodhisattva mahāsattvas that all compounded phenomena are impermanent; to fully engage in understanding the inexhaustible doctrine of the bodhisattva mahāsattvas that all contaminated phenomena are suffering; to fully engage in understanding the inexhaustible doctrine of the bodhisattva mahāsattvas that all phenomena are without self; and to fully engage in understanding the inexhaustible doctrine of the bodhisattva mahāsattvas that nirvāṇa is peace.13 1.5 “Lord of the nāgas, if one utters these four aphorisms of the Dharma, in uttering them one is expressing all 84,000 articles of the Dharma.” 1.6 When the Bhagavān had spoken in this way, the bhikṣus and bodhisattvas rejoiced and greatly praised the teachings of the Bhagavān.

The Noble Māhayāna Sūtra, The Questions of the Nāga King Sāgara

[csabasaf]

In this very short sūtra, the Buddha explains to a nāga king and an assembly of monks that reciting the four aphorisms of the Dharma is equivalent to recitation of all of the 84,000 articles of the Dharma. He urges them to make diligent efforts to engage in understanding the four aphorisms (also called the four seals), which are the defining philosophical tenets of the Buddhist doctrine: (1) all compounded phenomena are impermanent; (2) all contaminated phenomena are suffering; (3) all phenomena are without self; (4) nirvāṇa is peace

Something to get mind of my vent

Aaaand I forgot to take my chill pill in time. Now I will wake up only at 1 pm, and won't sleep until later at night. Well, at least I remembered my generic password for every moment of life... I dunno if I should write something about my Four Seals project because it's too early to even think about writing comics. The weapons are kinda lame once I drew them. Also I realised that Bella's gauntlets are too simple, and even thought I drew them before SU and they were created under impression of Strength from Black Rock Shooter, they look too much like Garnets. And her Lunatic weapon looks stupid - lolipop shaped saw. I will add sketch to this post tomorrow. (sketches are on PC). Also I just love adding more Arcs to this story and dark twists. Currently there are 3 main arks with different main protagonists (with exception of some characters, Yoru is not called "rule breaker" for nothing), Paradox arc, Fantasica arc that consist of 3 arcs (Negative arc, Chronobreak arc, "Purple firepin emerald"). And tons of characters. I feel like that too much for me to handle at the same time. I lost count. I can think of at least fifty characters at any moment of story at different points of existence (because there is infinite numbers of universes in my story). The most difficult character is Yoru. According to my scenario, he had been training for near 300. years and studied lots of different offensive and defensive arts and made load of scientific notes and developed a whole study about energies. There is an infinity number of energies and even bigger number of rules that are coming up each moment. It's not like GF journals it's like a giant library full of notes. And everything is kept in my head. I can't remember most of elements names, but the mechanics, the ways of the souls, universal boarders in out of 3 dimensions and time and movement... And yeah, there are about 20 dimensions that I come up with (some are common, some are not) but about everything in story goes about infinite possibilities. I tried to make this story to be canonically possible to cross over with any story, and I never expected to feel like my brain is bleeding just thinking about Yoru's lecture...

4 Seals of Buddhism

These are the four things that every Buddhist believes:

-All Compounded Things are Impermanent-

Everything the mind can come up with is impermanent, subject to change and decay.

-All emotions are pain-

Even happy emotions will bring pain, when they end. Brilliant love brings brilliant agony when ended. 

-All things are inherently empty-

There is no true nature to everything, since everything is subject to change.

-Nirvana is beyond extremes-

This is the idea that Nirvana is beyond time, space, the realm of thought, and consciousness. It cannot be known in its entirety because if it were to be known it would become impermanent.
