Self-mastery is one of the central tenets of Zen Buddhist philosophy.  Forget the old paradigm of "winning" and "losing." Find commonality, respect opposition, adapt to change with compassion, and you will find inner peace. This is the ultimate reward. 

Painted to order, this calligraphy is available in medium (roughly 12.5 x 26in) and large (roughly 18.5 x 38in) sizes; and either backed and ready for your own custom framing (on elegant gold-fleck shuen paper), or painted directly on a silk brocade hanging wall scroll, ready to hang straight from the box.

The medium scroll (shown), containing the medium size painting, measures 39.5 x 19.5 inches.  Color is an antique gray background with brown brocade. The large scroll measures 59.5 x 23.5 inches. Color for the large scroll is antique gold background with blue brocade. Both are neutral from afar and complement any interior wall color and decor.

Scrolls are hand-crafted of the finest materials - silk brocade, wooden rods, and rice paper - and are convenient to handle, store and hang.
