Daruma
by Ienaga Ichido
DON'T KNOW!
(signed) The old fellow Shikatsu of Tofuku-ji
This is Daruma's answer to the question, "Who are you?" All of us think we know exactly who we are but, according to Buddhism, all contructs of self are false and artifical. Daruma represents the Zen mind beyond all concepts.
