Description
The Sixth Patriarch's Zen teachings, compiled in the Platform Sutra, are one of the great inspirations for my calligraphies.
The recurring message throughout the Platform Sutra is :
Do not seek outside, look within, cultivate and realize your own nature, the Buddha, Awakening.
This Enso Calligraphy renders the essence of this profound and wondrous message in the following phrase :
'Bodhi, Awakening is our original, inherent nature;'
quoted from the verse at the end of the Prajna Chapter.
(English translation by Buddhist Text Translation Society from the book 'The Sixth Patriarch's Dharma Jewel Platform Sutra')
The Chinese characters are:
菩提 : bodhi, awakening
本自性 : original, inherent nature
