Description from the seller
Meaning of Words
明歴々露堂々 Meirekireki rodōdō
Brightly clear, openly exposed.
Yaku: Translation
This means “Clearly bright, openly revealed.”
It expresses that ultimate truth is not hidden in mystery, but instead appears openly and unmistakably.
Although people often assume that truth lies deep within, unreachable or obscure, it is in fact fully visible — as plain and open as the brightness of light or something left out in the open.
If one cannot see it, it is simply because one chooses not to look, or because one’s vision is clouded.
Another interpretation sees this phrase as describing how the life force that fills the vast universe also penetrates every single tree and blade of grass — nothing is excluded, and everything is a direct expression of that truth.
