Tintin in Shambhala
Here's my shot: It's a satire on the difference between mahayana and mahamudra.
Two European meditators are chanting the heart sutra mantra of emptiness, feeling simple and serene. The procession of Shambhala pops their mantra bubble, which dissipates into letters, and shows them a grand display of luminosity-emptiness. The old man has a heart attack, like the arhats when Avalokiteshvara preached emptiness for the first time. The young man, his mind completely stopped, glimpses ground mahamudra.
It's quite a witty cartoon-- thanks for sharing it!
