The Enlightened One in the Woods / Customized Landscape Ecological Tank

Basin Name: "The Enlightened One in the Woods" Origin: "The Platform Sutra" - Huineng, the Sixth Patriarch Original Verse: "Bodhi originally has no tree, the bright mirror also has no stand. Originally there is not a single thing, where can dust alight?" Background of the Figure: Huineng (638–713), the Sixth Patriarch of Chinese Chan Buddhism, is revered as the founder of the "Sudden Enlightenment School of the Southern Tradition." "The Platform Sutra" is a compilation of his teachings and Dharma talks, forming the bedrock of Chinese Chan Buddhist thought. This verse, presented to the Fifth Patriarch Hongren upon their first meeting, reveals the profound concepts of "formlessness," "thoughtlessness," and "non-abiding," making it one of the most celebrated passages in East Asian Buddhist history. Simplified Interpretation: True enlightenment is not found through external seeking. The mind, like Bodhi, is not a tree; a clear and bright mind needs no mirror stand. If our fundamental nature is inherently empty and all phenomena are non-existent, then from where can worldly dust arise? True purity resides within a single thought. Design Interpretation: "The Enlightened One in the Woods" embodies the state of "originally not a single thing" with a Buddha figure seated amidst nature. The statue is not placed centrally or elevated; instead, it is embraced by moss and vines, which paradoxically enhances its sense of freedom. Gnarled wood, striking stones, and layered mosses surround it, arranged not with deliberate symmetry or focal points, but allowed to spread organically, much like enlightenment arises not from form, but from the clarity of the mind. Within this miniature landscape, there is no pursuit of opulence or stillness, merely allowing all things to be "as they are," which is sufficient to sit alongside the enlightened one. May this compact realm awaken a moment of pure clarity. Nature Hill ✦ Every Scene a Meaning, Respecting Nature's True Heart Plant Description: This basin features Ficus pumila var. minima, commonly known as creeping fig, encircling the Buddha statue. Creeping fig belongs to the Ficus genus in the mulberry family and is a climbing plant. Its leaves are small and dense, with a thick, waxy texture, exhibiting a soft, deep green sheen. Its flexible stems adhere naturally to rock faces, wood, or stone, demonstrating strong attachment and spreading capabilities. Compared to the common creeping fig, this dwarf variety has smaller leaves and shorter internodes, creating a more delicate visual effect. It is an excellent plant for miniature landscapes, conveying a sense of "vining, clinging, and extension." Its slow and stable growth prevents it from becoming unruly, making it suitable for co-planting with mosses and ferns to create rich layers and a natural ambiance. | Product Specifications | 15cm (L) x 15cm (W) x 25cm (H) Ultra-Clear Suspended Tank (with adjustable ventilation lid) 20cm (L) x 20cm (W) x 30cm (H) Ultra-Clear Suspended Tank (with adjustable ventilation lid) Ultra-clear high-definition glass, suspended design, crystal chamfered edges, transparent silicone sealing https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53689415775_7a05b44b35_b.jpg | Product Contents | Teak driftwood, Azalea driftwood, Dragon Stone, Cement Buddha statue, Cushion Moss, Small Leaf Moss, Hinoki Cypress Leaf Hair Moss, Curly Tail Moss, Creeping Fig, Nerve Plant, Blue Star Creeper. | Care Instructions | Basic lighting for 8 hours/day.
