Reading

The straightforward mind — turned neither by craving nor by the splitting of this from that.

The place of practice is not bound to a hall or a mountain.

Where such a mind stands, the ground of the way is already there.

Origin

From the Vimalakīrti Sutra, the Bodhisattva chapter, where the layman Vimalakīrti answers the youth Glorious Light: "the straightforward mind is the place of practice, for it is without falsity."

Seal

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