inspirational buddhist wood carvings

Post by befriend »

here is a picture of a wood carving I did of buddhas final words before his parinibbana. it says All is Flux strive on with diligence, I keep it in my meditation room and its nice to reflect on. if anyone wants a pithy Buddhist saying carved in wood I can make one its a charitable way to keep me working with my hands, and have a passion. it looks better in real life. I wouldn't charge anything for it. metta, befriend

A Buddhist holy text, the Diamond Sūtra is considered to be the oldest surviving dated printed book in the world.

Found in a walled up cave in China along with other printed materials, the book is made up of Chinese characters printed on a scroll of grey printed paper, wrapped along a wooden pole.

The book was copied by a man called Wong Jei, in May 868 AD, on the instruction of his parents, which is noted at the end of the text.
