SuttaCentral
LOL, all credit goes to @Aranya. It was her idea and she made everything. I only doodled the angel and the wheel.
I feel that it is time that Ven. Yodha stops hiding in anonymity. I never expected the doodles to be so popular, or anyone being even remotely interested in Ven Yodha. But now that people keep engaging with Ven Yodha so much, it seemed better that they know who they are talking with. 
Although I expect that now that the mystery is resolved, his/her popularity will go down fast! 
Not a chance, Venerable, not a chance in the world!
I just love the waterfall doodle, and I think you read my mind 
because my idea of a deva realm is meditating sitting under a waterfall in nature 
Would you mind if I print this out to put on a card on my desk?
I agree!!!
Exquisite. 
Love it. 
I feel honoured that you did a âmixed mediaâ artwork. The layered semi-transparencies definately give it a heavenly feel. 
Should you ever do another (Pleeze Oh Pleeze), could you please incorporate a sunset in the background? Thai tradition has it that the sky in heaven is Red, like an eternal sunset.
If it doesnât impose (and after reading this post I made, which provides context), I would like to furtherly request from the Ven. Yodha a âBuddha vs. Terminatorsâ Doodle.
Sure.
The art supplies you sent have arrived! Thank you very much for your support! 
So you have managed to keep up your anonymity for 26 daysâvery impressive!
But whether Ven. Yodha or Ayya Vimalanyani, this doodle thread is simply the best! 
Please keep on doodling, Venerable! 
Facebook is just present here on the forum at the moment in some other threads; so maybe I should post this latest doodle on Facebook⊠?
Or maybe you should follow the advice of the doodle and keep awayâŠ
Like a dew drop on a blade of grass
AN 7.74
Just as a drop of dew on the tip of a blade of grass will quickly vanish at sunrise and will not last long, so too, brahmins, human life is like a drop of dew. It is limited and fleetingÍŸ it has much suffering, much misery. One should wisely understand this. One should do what is wholesome and lead the spiritual lifeÍŸ for none who are born can escape death.
Iâd like to share one of my dewdrop pictures here: I had this very same simile in mind when taking it!
Not a proper method for procuring fruit
Suppose a man needing milk, seeking milk, wandering in search of milk, were to pull a recently-calved cow by her horn. Then, if he made an aspirationâŠif he made no aspirationâŠif he both made an aspiration and made no aspirationâŠif he neither made an aspiration nor made no aspiration and acted thus, he would still be unable to procure any milk. Why is that? Because that [way of acting] is not a proper method for procuring milk.
So too, whatever recluses and brahmins have wrong view, wrong intention, wrong speech, wrong action, wrong livelihood, wrong effort, wrong mindfulness, and wrong concentration, if they make an aspiration and they lead the holy life, they are unable to procure any fruit; if they make no aspiration and they lead the holy life, they are still unable to procure any fruit; if they both make an aspiration and make no aspiration and they lead the holy life, they are still unable to procure any fruit; if they neither make an aspiration nor make no aspiration and they lead the holy life, they are still unable to procure any fruit. Why is that? Because that [wrong path] is not a proper method for procuring fruit.
@Sabbamitta, hereâs your doodle!
Like rain on a mountaintop
âJust as, when it is raining and the rain pours down in thick droplets on a mountaintop, the water flows down along the slope and fills the clefts, gullies, and creeks;
these, becoming full, fill up the pools;
these, becoming full, fill up the lakes;
these, becoming full, fill up the streams;
these, becoming full, fill up the rivers;
and these, becoming full, fill up the great ocean;
thus there is nutriment for the great ocean, and in this way it becomes full.
Thus associating with good persons, becoming full, fills up hearing the good Dhamma.
Hearing the good Dhamma, becoming full, fills up faith.
Faith, becoming full, fills up careful attention.
Careful attention, becoming full, fills up mindfulness and clear comprehension.
Mindfulness and clear comprehension, becoming full, fill up restraint of the sense faculties.
Restraint of the sense faculties, becoming full, fills up the three kinds of good conduct.
The three kinds of good conduct, becoming full, fill up the four establishments of mindfulness.
The four establishments of mindfulness, becoming full, fill up the seven factors of enlightenment.
The seven factors of enlightenment, becoming full, fill up true knowledge and liberation.
Thus there is nutriment for true knowledge and liberation, and in this way they become full.â
I have a request for Ven. Yodha, or anyone else with doodle skills.
Itâs not important, and thereâs no urgency in time, monochrome black and white is fine, itâs for instructional/learning purpose.
The reason Iâm interested in a doodle for this sutta, AN 7.67, is because this sutta shows how the 5ind (indiriya) + hiri + ottappa work together, in a frontier fortress. The problem is, I have a hard time picturing some of the elements in the fortress, like the foundation post.
This is one of the suttas I found to memorize not word for word, but just the important ideas. So if I had a picture of a fortress with 7 parts I could visualize, then I could map it to the 5ind correspondences and describe it to someone verbally.
As it is now, since I canât picture the whole fortress, I have trouble remembering some of the correspondences.
This is so incredible, thank you so much!!! 
Hey Frankk,
Funny coincidence, I thought about doodling this sutta earlier todayâŠ
So just to clarify: Would you like
If you want the last one, the doodle might be quite full, but itâs up to you.
the fortress is the part Iâm most interested in, the 4 types of food is easy to visualize and find a picture for. Anything additional you add is up to you, thanks!
