What is ENSŌ?
The Japanese kanji 円相 tells us: 'Almost - a Circle'.
Almost.
Imperfect, often open, it is not a circle.
Done in one stroke, sometimes on the exhalation, ensō evokes a moment when the mind - free from all expectation - shows itself through the body, the trace, in a decisive and uncorrected way.
That's how it is, as it is.
Ensō is a manifestation of uselessness and importance. It reveals the visible and the invisible, the void and the unfolding, simplicity and the entire cosmos.
LOVE is the first work in the "Love" series.
The initial aspiration was to manifest the pure energy of love. "Essence Love" as Tsoknyi Rinpoche calls it.
This work takes up the exercise of Ensō and bears witness to a work of attention paid to the Open.
