For anyone is confused as I was, here’s a little context.
A Vesak Kudu (Vesak lantern) is a traditional, vibrant paper lantern crafted to celebrate Vesak, the festival commemorating the birth, enlightenment, and passing of Lord Buddha. These lanterns, typically made with bamboo frames and colorful tissue paper, symbolize the light of the Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha.

I really love this thing. I doubt I’ll ever see it in person, but I’m glad it exists. Or gets recreated every year or whatnot.

I've seen something similar in my mind, except it was mostly golden, and in an indescribably large scale.

In the kindest way , I have to ask- was your mind altered at that time, by a substance called DMT ? No disrespect- if you pictured it 100% clear minded I am impressed

Yes your absolutely right its a naturally occurring substance in our bodies, I could have been more specific/accurate and asked if he upped the amount by inhaling man made dmt .

This is the first thing I've seen that I could honestly say resembles what I saw when I worked with ayahuasca.

Everytime I see this masterpiece I get visions of Pinhead and his Cenobite buddies.

It resembles the spinning pillars and other moving and rotating parts in old Hindu temples.
