Reading

Nothing here is born; nothing here passes away.

Arising and ceasing are lines the mind draws across what has no edge.

In emptiness, beginning and end find no place to stand.

Origin

From the Heart Sutra (Prajñāpāramitā-hṛdaya): "all things are empty in form — neither arising nor ceasing, neither defiled nor pure, neither increasing nor decreasing." The same pair opens the eight negations of Nāgārjuna's Mūlamadhyamakakārikā (中論).

Seal

The original seal is hand-carved in Tokyo by the artist Satake Hōsen. Its impression is reproduced as a print on the garment.
