Description
Like A Dream Enso
This Japanese calligraphy, standing in the middle of a sumi Enso, shows
a semi-cursive rendering of the end gatha of the Vajracchedika Prajnaparamita Sutra, called the Diamond Sutra :
一切有為法
如夢幻泡影
如露亦如電
應作如是觀
Here are two translations of this verse:
"As stars, a fault of vision, as a lamp,
A mock show, dew drops, or a bubble,
A dream, a lightning flash, or a cloud,
So should one view what is conditioned",
taken from the book Buddhist Wisdom, by Edward Conze, Vintage Spiritual Classics.
And my favorite translation from The Diamond Sutra translated by Red Pine and published by Counterpoint :
"As a lamp, a cataract, a star in space
an illusion, a dewdrop, a bubble
a dream, a cloud, a flash of lightning
view all created things like this."
