Why Do East and West Both Illustrate the Realms of Gods and Buddhas?

In Western ceiling frescoes, the Assumption of the Virgin unfolds like a radiant poem—above the clouds, angels encircle her, a vision of divine grace and salvation, overwhelming in its majesty. ☁️🌟 In the East, the ascetic transcends the world, riding the wind with cranes by his side—a single breeze enough to carry him beyond the mortal realm, exuding an air of serene detachment. 🍃🕊️🌿

For centuries, humanity has ceaselessly pursued the eternal. Yet, where does this ultimate mystery beyond the earthly world lead? ⏳🔮✨

Perhaps, the answer has long been hidden within these paintings, like a secret code, silently awaiting us to decipher. 🖼️🔎💫
