This glossy 8x10 arrived out of the blue with several others placed inside an old folded movie poster.

Recognised as a classic Theatre of the Actors of Regard document worthy of further regard, Henry Weatherfield & Associates were commissioned to sign-write it as it now appears.

Today, another represenTARtion of the “Flower Sermon” offered by Guatama Buddha to his followers at Vulture Peak. There, it is said, he twirled a flower...

“At this, they all remained silent. Only the venerable Kashyapa broke into a smile. The World-Honored One said: “I have the eye treasury of the true Dharma, the marvelous mind of nirvana, the true form of no-form, the subtle gate of the Dharma. It does not depend on letters, being specially transmitted outside all teachings. Now I entrust Mahakashyapa with this.”

The scroll shown here is by Yosa Buson from the collection of Henry Weatherfield & Associates.

[Wikipedia : Yosa Buson or Yosa no Buson (与謝蕪村, 1716 – January 17, 1784) was a Japanese poet and painter of the Edo period. Along with Matsuo Bashō and Kobayashi Issa, Buson is considered among the greatest poets of the Edo Period.)

TAR : Taking After Redon

The exhibition 'Photography and the Performative' at Sydney University's Chau Chak Wing Museum, displays a work by Imants Tillers, If I close my eyes. His instagram website describes it thus :

Curated by Katrina Liberiou, the show explores the intersection between photography and performance.

Imants Tillers
If I close my eyes (2021)
189 Polaroids 1980–1982, nos. 112966–113161
10.7 x 8.9 cm (each); 75 x 239 cm (overall)
University of Sydney Art Collection

This conceptual work comprises 189 Polaroids made between 1980 and 1982. Tillers carried a camera with him during his daily life and documented those he encountered, asking his sitters to close their eyes. Interspersed with these portraits are landscape scenes depicting the view from his flat overlooking Sirius Cove.”

‘Taking After Redon’ re-imagines ‘If I close my eyes’ with the views of Sirius Cove replaced by views of Odilon Redon’s ‘Les yeux clos’ (Closed Eyes) c.1890.

the mark of self

Special comments : Vasubandhu, Treatise on Buddha Nature

"All non-Buddhists, in their various ways, conceive of and grasp a self in those things that lack self; namely the five aggregates (form, sensation, perception, volition, consciousness). Yet these things differ from what one grasps as the mark* of self; therefore, they are eternally lacking in self.

*substance, permanence, independence

However, with the wisdom of Thusness, all Buddhas and Bodhisattvas realize the perfection of not-self in all things. Because this perfection of not-self and that which is seen as the mark of not-self** are not different, the Tathagata says that this mark of the eternal not-self is the true, essential nature of all things. It is because of this that the perfection of not-self is called True Being."

**insubstantiality, impermanence, dependence on causes and conditions
