In order to possess what you do not possess You must go by way of dispossession. In order to arrive at what you are not You must go through the way in which you are not And what you do not know is the only thing you know.1 —T.S. Eliot Sometime in the 1980s, during the last decade of his life, the reputed fore- runner of modern—and even contemporary—art in Myanmar, Bagyi Aung Soe (1923–90), began using the term “manaw maheikdi dat pangyi” to refer to his art. In Burmanised Pāli, this epithet means the painting or art of the funda- mental elements of the phenomenal world by way of intense mental concen- tration attained through assiduous meditation practice.2 He stated in no unclear terms that he painted the mind, not matter, and cited Buddhist tenets such as the Three Marks of Existence (Pāli: tilakkhaṇa), the Four Noble Truths (Pāli: cattāri ariyasaccāni ) and the Four Sublime States (Pāli: brahmavihāra) Southeast of Now Vol.
