THE RAINBOW BODY

Acrylic and Gouache on paper.
"As they die (advanced practitioners) enable their body to be reabsorbed back into the light essence of the elements that created it, and consequently their material body dissolves into light and then disappears completely.  This process is known as "the rainbow body" or "body of light", because the dissolution is often accompanied by spontaneous manifestations of light and rainbows".  - Sogyal Rinpoche (The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying)
