“A great image on a great quality top. Well done Earthmonk.” John.

 

This stunning piece of calligraphic art creates the face of Buddha out of the phrase, ‘Hold on to Nothing and Fall into the Midst of Everything’. The words are inspired by the poem of an 18th Zen Buddhist abbess who wrote about her spiritual awakening. This T-shirt invites you to unclench the fist of your mind and let go, to experience everything in the here and now, just as it is.

 

This striking design has been hand screen printed onto a T-shirt onto a 100% premium, organic cotton.

The story of ‘Hold Onto Nothing & Fall Into the Midst of Everything’ T-shirt

 

This striking and unique t-shirt creates the face of Buddha entirely out of calligraphy using the phrase, ‘Hold on to Nothing and fall into the Midst of Everything’. The t-shirt is inspired from a poem written by Teijitsu, an 18th century abbess of Hakujuan, a Zen Buddhist nunnery in Japan, at the moment of her awakening.

 

“She saw that all phenomena arose, abided, and fell away. She saw that even knowing this arose, abided, and fell away. Then she knew there was nothing more than this, no ground, nothing to lean on, stronger than the cane she held. Nothing to lean upon at all, and no one leaning… and she opened the clenched fist in her mind and let go, and fell, into the midst of everything”.

 

In the stress of modern life, it is easy to forget that your mind set is everything. This T-shirt invites you to unclench the fist of your mind and let go, to release everything that you are holding tightly so that your mind and awareness can expand. This design reminds you to experience everything here and now, just as it is.
