- Description
In Buddhism, “Busshin 佛心” refers to the inherent nature of all living beings to become a Buddha. This is thus what is called “satori (enlightenment)”. Buddhism is a religion, aiming at satori achieved to become a Buddha, which makes this term very important.
This work was written by Kishi Tesshin, a Zen monk alive today. The 2 large Chinese characters are gently written as if to express the state of enlightenment. It is also interesting to note that he strikes a balance in the entire work by adding his own signature vertically underneath the letters of Busshin.
