The 4 Immeasurable Minds and the 4 Grasping Minds

Most of the time

we live in this box.

Let go of just one,

they all disappear,

we are free.

Grab just one

and we are completely in it.

Content for the Four Immeasurable Minds came from the book: "The Heart of the Buddha's Teaching" 1998 Parallax Press, by Thich Nhat Hanh, chapter 22. This book has been a favorite of Tim’s, which he has been constantly re-reading for over 10 years!

The Four Grasping Minds was a topic of many of Zen Master Seung Sahn's talks.  Tim made the drawing in an effort to commit it to memory.

The content is from the book: "Compass of Zen"  1997 Shambhala Publications Inc. by Zen Master Seung Sahn.  Another of Tim’s favorites that he re-reads on an on-going basis!
