    On my wall

    Not entirely zen-related, but sort of. Today, I got an enso I bought from Kaz Tanahashi. It's on my wall, above where I sit. It won't stay there, though, because, well, if my eyes are open, it will distract me.

    It's a beautiful piece of artwork. It's 30 x 36 inches, which is about the size of my zabuton; in other words, it's huge.

    This photo does not do it justice...

        Beautiful. My meditation timer has an enso that progressively circles as my sit nears it's end!

        Good stuff!

        Look upon the world as a bubble,
        regard it as a mirage;
        who thus perceives the world,
        him Mara, the king of death, does not see.

          That is beautiful, thanks for sharing. I am planning on getting an enso tattooed this summer.

            If I got a tattoo, I'd either get an enso or a stealie... :-)

              Beautiful artwork. It looks like a lovely deep blue or purple color.

                    Ameila,

                    The light's not great in my office, where I have it hung, but, yes, it's a deep blue, but there are other colors as well: green and purple. It looks like it was done with several colors mixed together, but mostly blue.

                    Gassho,

                    Kirk
