Awakening to Buddhist Wisdom
悟佛語

Description 描述 :

Chinese painting of epiphyllum oxypetalum 中國畫曇花

This grand freehand (Da xieyi) painting depicts the Tanhua (Epiphyllum oxypetalum) in full bloom under a full moon. The Gatha poem was composed to reflect the wisdom of the Diamond Sutra and written in cursive script, serving as inspiration of the painting.

Everything we can see, like the moon, the blooming flower, or the buds, arises from a gathering of causes and conditions. It is a fleeting moment, flowing just like the movement of brushstrokes on paper. True awakening lies within our own hearts in the peaceful, quiet, empty, pure state.
