This limited edition t-shirt, is a collaboration with Awarehouse. Brooklyn based artist / practitioner duo Christine Alfred and Bobby Piccitto created this design inspired by the teachings they received here at Three Jewels. 

The peacock feeds off of poison, and not only survives but thrives! According to legend, it is what gave them their brilliant colored feathers. In Buddhism, the peacock symbolizes a bodhisattva, who can feed off of the poison of the world (their mental afflictions, the pain of others) using wisdom and compassion to become stronger and more kind.What would kill a normal bird, allows a peacock to thrive. Similarly, immense acts of compassion that would make another human annoyed, angry or fearful, brings bliss to a Bodhisattva!
