The Story of the Mandala

A work from July 2024. I had no confidence in my skill or my powers of expression, yet I wanted to face myself just as I was — so I drew it in white alone. A mirror reflects us exactly as we are.

The English word “mirror” shares its root with “miracle” — said to be because what appears in a mirror was felt to be a miracle. So when we let go of our assumptions (the self) and take everything the mirror shows as a miracle, a miracle truly appears.

For take the “ga” (self) out of “kagami” (mirror), and what remains is “kami” (god)…

From “Today’s Message”Every event in life is necessary — like the pieces of a puzzle, each becomes a beautiful colour of its own…
