Asian Poem on Zen Meditation Calligraphy Brushed Tissue Paper

Four-Line Poem, 17th century, Feiyin Tongrong: "I’ve practiced Zen up to the point where in myself I get it; Now understood in clarity, to whom might I pass it on? All I see is this autumn moon, filling the whole of heaven, A single wheel effulgently illuminating the stream out front. . The writer of this vibrantly inscribed calligraphic work, Feiyin Tongrong, or Hiin Tsūyō, as he is known in Japan, was a Chinese Buddhist monk who studied under several renowned Chan (Japanese: Zen) masters, served as abbot at several Chan monasteries, and inspired disciples to bring a new form of Chan Buddhism to Japan, where it took root and flourished."
