Reading
The moment it is named as a thing, it has already missed the mark.
What is asked after cannot be caught in words.
Explanation may draw near, but never arrives at the thing itself.
Where nothing can be said of it, there it is.
Origin
From the Jingde Record of the Transmission of the Lamp (景徳伝灯録), in the chapter on Nanyue Huairang. His answer, given eight years later, to Huineng's question: "What is it that comes thus?"
Seal
The original seal is hand-carved in Tokyo by the artist Satake Hōsen. Its impression is reproduced as a print on the garment.
篆刻 — 佐竹 寶千 朱印
