The Art of Stillness

Zen expression isn't limited to words on a page — it lives in ink and brushstroke too. Above is a gallery of original artwork by Reverend Daishin McCabe, including calligraphy with phrases drawn from ancient and pre-modern Zen, Confucian, Daoist, and Japanese sources — some well-documented, others whose origins remain a bit of a mystery even to Daishin himself — alongside his drawings. Each piece is available for purchase, so a piece of that stillness can find a place in your own home.

All calligraphy phrases originate from ancient or pre-modern Zen, Confucian, Daoist, or Japanese sources.  Some of these sources are known and stated in the description, while others remain obscure to Daishin.
