Add an elegant tabletop decor with a bamboo scroll hand carved with the most famous text of the Buddhism - The Heart Sutra, in beautiful Chinese calligraphy.
The Heart Sutra is the shortest yet unquestionably the most popular sutra in Buddhism. It's called 'Heart Sutra' because it is said to distill the 'Heart' of the voluminous Prajnaparamita teachings on 'emptiness', is one of the most highly regarded, oft-recited, and influential texts in East Asian Buddhism.
The Heart Sutra is talking from the other side, with its famous text like 'Therefore in emptiness, no form, no feelings, no perceptions, no formations, no consciousness.' This is the sutra of 'no,' the sutra of negation. It puts forth the negative in order to point out the positive. It takes everything away in order to show you what there is.
The text of Heart Sutra carved in this beautiful Bamboo Scroll is composed of 40 bamboo pieces, each approximately 10.25 inches high, 1.2 inches wide, and .25 inches in thickness, which are linked together via string to form an overall dimensions of approximately 10.25 inches high, and 47.5 inches in width. The bamboo is stained a dark color, and then hand carved and painted to produce a lovely illustration.
Display this beautiful bamboo scroll in many different ways, add to your tabletop decor, display fully on top your bookshelf or mantel, roll up partially to display different parts of the text or graphic, or add as a peaceful element to your personal sanctuary for you to meditate on the wisdom taught by Buddha.
