Meaning of Words 清風動脩竹 Seifū shūchiku o ugokasu A pure breeze stirs the slender bamboo. Yaku: Translation This means "A pure breeze gently stirs the slender bamboo." The Daihannya-kyō (Great Wisdom Sutra), though composed of 600 volumes with countless teachings and deep meanings, can ultimately be likened to this simple image: a pure wind softly rustling thin bamboo. It expresses the thoroughly refined Buddhist concept of "emptiness" (kū), suggesting that profound truths move with subtlety and natural grace, without force. ------------------ Setting weight This piece weighs 0.8 kg.
