Plenitude I
'Plenitude' is the condition of completeness or wholeness. The artist has attempted to capture that state of "plenitude of being" in which the individual( represented as the monk)  is wholly and completely focussed upon the ongoing experience and hence is, in that moment, completely aware, fully engaged and therefore wholly alive. In this state our senses, which are the "gates of our being" are ebulllient and exalted in their existance. Achieving and maintaining this level of awareness is difficult, however these complete and fullest moments are the measure of the worth of our day.The complete power of self developement, self discipline  is within us and the Buddha can only be a teacher. But this knowledge rests on the senses which are precarious, wherein any lack of discipline and control will turn good into evil simply by losing the balance of their use. It was because of this that the Buddha developed the doctrine of the golden mean, where all things were to be done without excess, reaching the fullness of benefit, without going beyond into the self-destruction of over-indulgence and weakness.
