A Crypto Art twist to Esho's original print piece featuring symbolism of the Laughing Buddha, the bowl, the ball, and the butterfly. The original piece and photograph was crafted on the foundation of the 9th century koan of the same name by Zen Master Linji.
In the original print, Esho poetically expressed the meaning of this calming & meditative piece which also strikes at the heart of modern culture's polarization and tribalism. In Esho's eloquently written words:
"If u meet the buddha on the side of the road,
Turn around.
Return whence you came.
Shatter the prism of your reality.
Release your grip on the binary.
Embrace the debris of life.
Consume discomfort.
Shun the sparkly things.
Return to the narrow road.
Let love be your nav.
Pass cities with no names.
Arrive in the garden of no labels.
Vomit the fruit of Tov Wa-ra
Embrace the other.
Let the tribe of love reign."
--Esho Amore--
