Saw this huge painting on the tiled front wall of a Chinese monastery here & it caught my attention.
I don't know much about Buddhist philosophy, but this painting seems to depict some sort of a struggle for survival -- with the monks helping from one side; and demons attacking from the other; while men & women struggle in a sea-storm (of life, perhaps?)
Would love to know more about it --maybe it's a scene from an ancient mythological story; or from the religious texts, perhaps?
