Reading
A banner stirs. Is it the wind that moves, or the cloth?
To the two who argued, the Sixth Patriarch said: neither.
What moved was the mind that watched it.
The motion taken for something outside was within from the start.
Origin
From the Gateless Gate (Mumonkan), Case 29, "Not the Wind, Not the Banner"; the same exchange is preserved in the Platform Sutra of the Sixth Patriarch. Two monks argued whether it was the wind or the banner that moved; the Sixth Patriarch, Huineng, said it was neither — what moved was their own mind.
Seal
Cut by hand in Tokyo by the artist. The angle of the blade and the depth of the stroke decide where the ink bleeds and where it holds. No imprint repeats.
