Arthur Abagyan. "Bright world". Painting. Born in Moscow in 1977. He studied at the Russian state humanitarian University at the faculty of philosophy (Department of Eastern philosophy). Six years was a Buddhist monk. Spent five years in the Himalayas in travel and leisure, creating a variety of creative projects dedicated to the culture of this region; more than a dozen movies, lots of photos and paintings. More than thirteen years living on the shore of lake Baikal, having chosen this place for creative and spiritual fulfillment. The author tries to convey in the works of depth and space of the traditional culture of the Himalayas, the power of inspiration of the Baikal nature and sense of community of all life with infinite space. "Visit the Holy places gives us a special tension in the shower, and it is valuable because what happens in the space filled with the lofty intentions of practicing people in the city that we all seek happiness. Of all the places I visited, perhaps, Ladakh and Zanskar have the greatest purity and strength. This is due to many reasons. My personal connection with the past with this region, and the particular influence of mountain thin air, and complacency unnecessary tension of both the body and soul in such conditions. No wonder, in these places have made the seclusion of the many great saints of the past, reaching incredible spiritual levels. The simplicity of life here allows you to take another look at our own life, to remove a lot of funny neuroses and attachments from your consciousness. Well, if there are people in which we see his spiritual friends with whom you can mutually communicate and share their experience, especially good if they have a lot of experience and he's versatile. The result of four years of stay in India and Nepal, filled with school and travelling, meeting different people and cultures, was the expansion of the internal space of experience and understanding of the commonality of all living beings in their quest for happiness. In the Himalayas still have a lost of our culture's ways of getting it. Not to say that they are only correct, but now they are probably the most available and Teachers are willing to share this precious experience, and space itself here only helps disclosed in us this incredible potential."
