Catalogue Note

Artist's inscription:
Lamenting that I have no way to relieve my mind, I ascend the mountaintop temple to pay homage to the buddha. Letting go, I know I shall be awakened. In the end we all should live in quiet simplicity. Bathed in holy light I wish to be freed from the three lives. To cross to the other shore I ask only for a single reed. Do not think of the pure land while on the edge of Jambudvipa. Every instance in the human world contains a great ocean.
