Guided Tour of the Painting "The Moon Illuminates the Heart of Heaven" by Xuzizhi:
The moon has historically been synonymous with "completeness." People often look to the moon to express their yearning for reunion and to reflect on the joys and sorrows of life. For monastics, the moon’s tranquility and clarity serve as metaphors for the true nature of Buddha-hood. Its roundness and fullness embody the harmony and joy of Buddhist teachings, as well as the richness of Zen bliss. The ability to "see the moon" is used as a standard for enlightenment, while "the bright moon in the heart of heaven" symbolizes the clarity of mind and the realization of one's true essence.

About Xuzizhi:
Xuzizhi, pen name Yi-Liao, began learning to draw and studied Chinese classics since childhood. At the age of sixteen, he learned seal carving from a famous teacher. Later, he met the Venerable Miaozhan, abbot of South Putuo Temple, by chance and became connected to Buddhism. Many of his works depict Buddhist statues and seals, which have been collected by those with affinity in Japan and Southeast Asia. His Buddha seal imprints are made from materials such as Agalmatolite, Qingtian stone, and Balin stone. They are vividly shaped and dignified in appearance. The author wishes to use the stones to transmit the Buddha's teachings and to cultivate himself, spreading his work to those with knowledge and affinity.
