Ocean of Wisdom



The Mongolian name for Dalai Lama, Ocean of Wisdom, draws on the Water symbolism of Feng Shui. Inspired by the hand-painted silk fabric of swimming koi, each coordinating fabric conveys its own meditation on the theme. My friend Yasmin owns this quilt. She even painted her walls to match the art! As a Feng Shui Consultant, she knows what to do. There is a Thai ikat-weave silk in the quilt (lower right corner). She pulled that color to paint her kitchen aubergine and it's fabulous!

"Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible."
Dalai Lama



Our prime purpose in this life is to help others. And if you can't help them, at least don't hurt them.
Dalai Lama


Tom must be a Buddhist. He always tries to help and steps very lightly.
