"Medicine King, if there are good men and good women who, after the Thus Come One has entered extinction, wish to expound this Lotus Sutra for the four kinds of believers, how should they expound it? These good men and good women should enter the Thus Come One's room, put on the Thus Come One's robe, sit in the Thus Come One's seat, and then for the sake of the four kinds of believers broadly expound this sutra.

The 'Thus Come One's room' is the state of mind that shows great pity and compassion toward all living beings. The 'Thus Come One's robe' is the mind that is gentle and forbearing. The 'Thus Come One's seat' is the emptiness of all phenomena. One should seat oneself comfortably therein and after that, with a mind never lazy or remiss, should for the sake of the bodhisattvas and the four kinds of believers broadly expound this Lotus Sutra."

- from The Lotus Sutra, translated by Burton Watson, 1993.

The Unlit Cavern Behind Your Eyes, the One Behind Mine

Elizabeth Lesser, Kelly Link, Chuang Tzu, and a Maxim for Nostalgists: 'The Unlit Cavern Behind Your Eyes, the One Behind Mine'

[Image: “Forever on the Outside, Looking In” by John E. Simpson. (Photo shared here under a Creative Commons License; for more information, see this page at RAMH.)] From whiskey river: The irony of hiding the dark side of our humanness is that our secret is not really a secret at all. How can it be when we’re all safeguarding the very same story? That’s why Rumi calls it an Open Secret. It’s…

Cold Mountain: Chinese poet Han Shan

Cold Mountain: Chinese poet Han Shan. Film with Burton Watson, Red Pine, and Gary Snyder. http://wp.me/pFy3u-3fT (about 30 minutes)

Cold Mountain is a film portrait of the Tang Dynasty Chinese poet Han Shan, a.k.a. Cold Mountain. Recorded on location in China, America and Japan, Burton Watson, Red Pine, and Gary Snyder describe the poet’s life and poems. Short film (about 30 minutes) Han Shan wrote poems for everyone, not just the educated elite. A man free of spiritual doctrine, it is unclear whether or not he was a monk,…

The best Sherlock Holmes adaptations are the ones that recognize that Watson needs to be kind of a weird little guy as well

#Burton guster I am looking at you #Sherlock Holmes #Psych #Wilson from house as well #A Watson should be visibly normal but internally as weird as Sherlock but in a slightly different direction #Eli vanto my beloved I'm tagging you too

Tada!

Very fun commission for @fruitviking of Holmes and Watson, based on 'Hellelil and Hildebrand, the Meeting on the Turret Stairs" by Frederic William Burton

This was really fun to do/figure out how to adapt. Ended up getting to use the facade of the Sherlock Holmes museum on Bakerstreet as a backdrop so that was neat! (If you're ever in London go check it out, they've replicated the flat and everything)

Thanks again for the commission!

(Apreciation)

The Corpse Bride:

“With this hand, I will lift your sorrows; Your cup will never empty, for I will be your wine; With this candle, I will light your way in darkness; With this ring, I ask you to be mine.”

A Noiva Cadáver:

“Com esta mão espantarei as suas tristezas; Seu cálice nunca ficará vazio, pois eu serei o seu vinho; Com esta vela eu iluminarei o seu caminho; E com esta aliança eu lhe peço que seja minha."

The Addams Family:

"Look at her. I would die for her. I would kill for her. Either way, what bliss!"

A Família Addams:

"Olhe para ela, eu mataria por ela, eu morreria por ela, e seria um prazer!"

Grass Hill, Poems and Prose by the Japanese Monk Gensei (Translated by Burton Watson)

[Text ID: I’m the kind of person who loves to read books / while there’s still time / I search for a hundred authors / Though I’ve cut all my other ties with the world / this one I can’t seem to put an end to / but always hoping to find some new book / I come to look over the Kyoto market / I’m like a thief intent on stealing someone’s brocade / not even conscious of the noise and dust / Among the bustle of these nine great avenues / my mind is as clear and still as water / and everywhere I look my eyes spy treasures / why should it only be ‘the jewel in the garment’? ]
