Dolores Park is an homage to the Tibetan Book of the Dead, and explores through are our ability to visualized the energies that drive us around. The mandala is a representation and organization of those energies, just as the subject matter of the book, a sanga was also about that. about energies The earlier front cover of Dolores Park above had a traditional Buddhism mandala of the 8 hungry ghost realms. At the center are a pig a snake a rooster and an ox chasing each other around in a circle. They present glutony, envy, pride and stupidity.
