Description

This Zen calligraphy shows two characters , 定慧, meditation and wisdom, Japanese jōe, Chinese dìnghuì, ting-hui.

The first character 定 is the Japanese and Chinese translation of the Sanskrit word samādhi, dhyāna (定 Japanese jō, Chinese dìng, ting). In English it is translated as meditation, meditative absorption, concentration or insight.

The second character means wisdom 慧, Japanese e, Chinese huì, hui.
This paragraph from the Platform Sutra Of The Sixth Patriarch has inspired my Meditation and Wisdom calligraphy:

"Good friends, how then are meditation and wisdom alike? They are like the lamp and the light it gives forth. If there is a lamp there is light; if there is no lamp there is no light. The lamp is the substance of light; the light is the function of the lamp. Thus, although they have two names, in substance they are not two. Meditation and wisdom are also like this."

( Excerpt from "The Platform Sutra Of The Sixth Patriarch, Translation, By Philip B. Yampolsky, Columbia University Press 1967)
