Hi,

I had a look at the posting. It looks like a play on the Tintin Series of cartoons by Hergé. Tintin (on the right) and Captain Haddock (on the left) are reciting the mantra from the Heart Sutra, which concerns emptiness. Their meditation is disturbed by a large parade that is anything but “empty” – much fanfare, many people and a revered “lama” (may be hinting at the Karmapa, here). In the end, I think they are confused and can’t see how the two work together – emptiness and such a manifestation (the parade).

Don’t know if this helps, but that’s what I got from the cartoon.

Cheers,
