Zen Stone - An Echo of Linji Zen's Profundity
This artwork, with its minimalist composition and profound symbolic meaning, resonates deeply with the dharma essence of the Linji (Rinzai) school of Zen Buddhism. The Linji school is renowned for its "striking and shouting," and "sharp encounters," aiming to directly point to the human mind and achieve sudden enlightenment in the present moment. The minimalism within this work is not merely formal simplicity; it directly points to the "emptiness" (空) and "nothingness" (无) that the Linji school pursues—that is, breaking through all conceptual attachments to directly perceive one's true nature.
The canvas is constructed with pure geometric shapes, emphasizing the purity of form. This is precisely like the teachings of the Linji school, which establishes no words but directly points to the source, aiming for inner clarity and the ultimate state of "originally there is nothing" by reducing complex appearances. The use of color is restrained to soft beige, grey, black, and a touch of olive green. This controlled palette and the tranquility it brings embody the "ordinary mind is the Way" emphasized by the Linji school, where Zen insight manifests in simplicity and naturalness. The balanced stacking and juxtaposition of shapes create a sense of order and visual serenity, echoing the lively state of inner peace sought by Linji practitioners during Zen meditation.
The artwork also incorporates rich Zen symbolism: The beige or light grey background symbolizes the practitioner's mind of "not clinging to anything," as Master Linji stated, "wherever you stand, be master of your situation; wherever you are, that is the true place," unaffected by external vexations. The olive green in the upper left corner, as the sole bright color, is not superfluous; it is like the "shout" of the Linji school, a vibrant "lively Zen" that hints at the warning against "falling into wild fox Zen." It can also symbolize the ceaseless vitality of nature, closely linked to Zen's emphasis on natural harmony and the cyclical view of all life.
