Description
This Enso drawing shows a bright one brush stroke Enso and a bold, lively calligraphy of a verse taken from the Diamond Sutra:
應 無 所 住 而 生 其 心,
Ō mu sho jū ni shō go shu.
When hearing this phrase the 6th Zen Patriarch Hui-neng suddenly became enlightened.
I often brush this phrase next to an enso, as a calligraphic support to the enso's completeness.
Some of my favorite English translations of this verse are:
Give birth to a thought that is not attached to anything. (Red Pine)
Engender the mind with no place for it to abide. (Scott Wilson)
Let your mind be unattached, clinging to nothing. (Dr. Martin Verhoeven)
