A mountain stands majestic, strong, against winds, gales, hailstorms.
When a mountain roars in pain, there are landslides.
A man can BE THE MOUNTAIN or a minion. It is up to him as to what he chooses to be.
With time, the mountain has withstood bulldozers, breaks, cracks, beams, projections...all meant to test it's tensile strength and reshape it's existence, yet it retains it's presence, peaks arise in celestial pride.
Define a mountain and you define the destiny of the earth and the heavens.
Detail a mountain and you've decorated the earth with the bounty from above.
Demarcate a mountain and you've dovetailed on an agreement with the earth's promise.
Silently the springs arise
Sparkling waters flow in rivers
Snows, sleet, rains all shower down to temple the throes of mountains pores
She lives, breathes, he lives breathes
Ages it has seen
Centuries have receded
Standing on ceremonies
Sermons and speeches strands
for Prayers it's been a plank
Glorious mountains grace the horizons
...like a balm on all wrongs
Be the mountain - O, Mrityunjaya, while you fight all wrongs and let your glory be telltale story of the spirit so strong.
Paintings: Japanese Lanscape Painting with Ink (Sumi-e) During the Tokugawa Period in the Japanese Sansui Tradition
Sansui are much more than simple landscape paintings, they represent the principle of universal transformation.
Landscape Painting is a 2,000 year old art form of Japanese brush painting
- It is rooted in Zen Buddhism
- The earliest paintings were inspired mostly by older Chinese paintings
- Early Sumi-e artists were highly disciplined monks who were trained in the arts of concentration, clarity and simplicity in order to help them in their visual arts
- Throughout history, landscape art has been held in high esteem and became a common way for artists to express the values of the Samuri Code (aka "Bushido")
- Landscape is referred to as Sansui' in Japanese-'San' meaning mountain, sui' meaning water
Therefore, a large majority of landscape paintings have mountains and water; often times the moon or sun was painted to represent the natural truths of each painting
