I'm working on this illustration for my teacher. In chi gong class he's been teaching us tonglen meditation. In this meditation form, you breathe in the suffering of the world(or of yourself or another particular human), like a sooty blackness of pain, anger, hurt, whatever the suffering might be...

And when you breathe out you transform it into brilliant light, like a thousand pure, sparkling crystals.

Hmmm... In the light of my last post, tonglen isn't a bad idea, huh?
