"How will you advance?"

2010 - H1340×W340

This Chinese poem is a work of "Changsha Jingcen",a famous Zen master in China.

百尺竿頭坐底人 雖然得入未為真

百尺竿頭須進歩 十方世界現全身

You !  A man sitting on the top of a tremendous long bamboo pole,

if you jump to a conclusion of understanding, it is not a genuine article.

You must advance one step from the end of a tremendously long bamboo pole!

Then you will express your whole body and your whole mind all over the world.
