Nibbana Picture by Dhammavidu Bhikkhu
In this illustration the Nataraja-like figure is shown dancing above
the earth and against a starry background. The Nataraja-like figure
here represents that one who can escape the power of ‘self’ – belief,
it’s cohorts, the cock, the pig, and the serpent, aka. the three root
defilements of greed, delusion, and aversion, and can, therefore,
operate without the problem of dukkha weighing them down
continually. Such an one is said to dwell ‘above the world,’ but mentally,
of course. Life is then a ‘light’ experience, hence the dancing figure of
Nataraja: one who dances through life unfettered by the usual human
hang-ups and problems, who dances to the rhythms of nature and
not those of the defilements.
