To be a Human - Painting in 3D

SHO-IN BUNKA is the culture within Zen. It relates to the days of long ago when mountain monks studied in mountain temples in China. The word Shoin evokes tea by the window looking out across the jade mountains listening to the wind bell gently  tinkle - tinkle, perhaps then picking up a pen and brushing beautiful lines of clarity.

from the Mustard Seed Manual

The Mustard Seed Manual is a T'ang Dynasty Chinese manual of painting, it is considered the root manual of Chinese painting, it is also valued in traditional Landscape gardening.
To study gardening we must study landscape painting. There we develop our eye for nature and the relationship of Heaven, Earth and Man.
This picture from the manual shows the ideal of Shoin life. Man is depicted as the hermit living in the mountains. We guess living as a literati sage.

                Sho-in no bunka
                           Zen no bunka

                                    Pine mountain is Study
                               Zen is Study
                          
The Two is One (Zen and Shoin), I meet new age healers and Missionaries but they have no concept of the many as one and the one as many, only duality of 'me and other' 'sickness and cure'. Holding that there is sickness and cure is the sickness. If only people today would listen to the Lute player.
