This piece features the sacred syllable “Om” in the Tibetan Petsug script. I’ve utilized a brush with Japanese sumi ink. Sumi ink, developed in ancient China and perfected in Japan, is made from soot mixed with animal glue and molded into solid sticks. Artists grind it with water on an inkstone to create rich, smooth black tones prized for their depth, permanence, and subtle gradation.
In Buddhism, the syllable OM is a sacred sound symbolizing the essence of all enlightened qualities. It represents the body, speech, and mind of the Buddhas, as well as the practitioner’s own potential for purity in these three aspects. OM is often placed at the beginning of mantras, such as Om Mani Padme Hum, to consecrate and energize the recitation. It is said to contain the vibration of ultimate reality—the unity of all phenomena beyond duality.
