About the teeth, about the objectives, about the mind, about the tranquility

Original painting by Jan Karpíšek 'About the teeth, about the objectives, about the mind, about the tranquility' represents a metaphor for life wandering on own life-force (riding a horse) in Zazen, when our desires and ambitions grow as branches from the head, screening in outlook and the outer world is finally a revealing hostile landscape-crocodile. In contrast, there at the heavenly sea sleeping Buddha, the holy man in a tiger costume has reached aimlessness and tranquility.
