Jung was asked by Richard Wilhelm to write commentary on The Secret of the Golden Flower, a Chinese text combining Buddhist, Taoist, and Confucian thoughts on inner alchemy meditation. In the commentary, Jung included a mandala drawing from Liber Novus, the first time he had publicly shared his interest in mandala art and tantrism. The book details a kind of meditation practice focused on the circulation, fixation,  and contemplation of light in the body, attuning to the heavenly consciousness of the heart and preserving the seed of life to balance between action and non action. By harnessing the rhythms of breathing and refining the movements of the material plane, one becomes more aligned with the primordial spirit. The Golden flower is the essence of the primordial spirit. There  are many medieval and ancient texts which suggest that cooking and preparing food is a form of alchemy (by which materials are chemically transmuted), a famous instance being Maria the Jewess’ (circa 1 AD) invention of the bain-marie (double boiler) apparatus. In this painting, two women wearing straw hats pour a substance, the elixir of life, into a river submerged with clouds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Calia Fernandez Art","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44142617624669,"sku":null,"price":2946.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0723\/4895\/8813\/files\/GoldenFlower.jpg?v=1768856130"},{"product_id":"picnic-at-hanging-rock","title":"Picnic at Hanging Rock","description":"\u003cp\u003e20x20.

Zen comes from the Chinese Chan Buddhism, which is taken from the Sanskrit word dhyana, meditation. It is described as a practice with “special transmission” outside the scriptures, that the truth isn’t based in the realm of words or language, and that by pointing directly to the human mind one can see into their own nature and attain buddhahood. Zen is the character of an everyday mind, being both devoted to the everyday, ordinary affairs of life in nature that is still profoundly mystical. The Mountains and Waters Sutra is considered one of the beautiful texts from the shobogenzo, which translates as ‘Treasury of the True Dharma Eye”, and in this section Dogen is writing about mountains walking and a stone woman giving birth to a child at night, and that if we do not understand that mountains walk and flow with the wind and ride in the sky, we cannot understand or know our own ability to walk. Nothing is fundamental or fixed, but everything is interdependent on other things; there is a harmonious cooperation of wholes amongst wholes which follow their own nature, abiding by their own nature and yet never permanently bound to one place. Obey the cosmic pattern (li) of your own nature to find harmony amongst all other beings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Now when dragons and fish see water as a palace, it is just like human beings seeing a palace. They do not think it flows. If an outsider tells them, \"What you see as a palace is running water,\" the dragons and fish will be astonished, just as we are when we hear the words, \"Mountains flow.\" Nevertheless, there maybe some dragons and fish who understand that the columns and pillars of palaces and pavilions are flowing water. You should reflect and consider the meaning of this. If you do not learn to be free from your superficial views, you will not be free from the body and mind of an ordinary person. Then you will not understand the land of Buddha ancestors, or even the land or the palace of ordinary people. Now human beings well know as water what is in the ocean and what is in the river, but they do not know what dragons and fish see as water and use as water. Do not foolishly suppose that what we see as water is used as water by all other beings.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Calia Fernandez Art","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44145942888541,"sku":null,"price":2713.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0723\/4895\/8813\/files\/PalaceofFish.jpg?v=1769040980"},{"product_id":"amethyst","title":"Amethyst","description":"\u003cp\u003e16x20 inches.
