Summary
[edit]| Description |
English: Famous Tsukubai inscription at Ryōan-ji temple in Kyoto, a poem: the Kanji characters are without significance when read alone. In combination with 口 (kuchi) the Kanji characters 五, 隹, 龰, and 矢 become 吾, 唯, 足, and 知 respectively. This is read as “ware tada tare o shiru” and translates literally as “I only know plenty” (吾 ware = I, 唯 tada = only, 足 = tare = plenty, 知 shiru = know). The meaning of the phrase is that “what one has is all one needs”, expressing the anti-materialistic teachings of Buddhism. |
