Reading
To lower the head and entrust oneself.
The word that sets down what was carried, and turns toward.
Spoken not to gain anything, but to open the hand that grasps.
Before its meaning, there is a posture.
Origin
A Chinese transliteration of the Sanskrit namas / namo ("salutation, homage, surrender"). It is the word of refuge, placed before the name of what one entrusts oneself to — as in Namu Amida Butsu, Namu Myoho Renge Kyo, Namu Sambo. Not a line from a single koan or sutra, but a term running through all of Buddhism.
Seal
The original seal is hand-carved in Tokyo by the artist Satake Hōsen. Its impression is reproduced as a print on the garment.
