Tibettan Monkey Skull: A look at reincarnation

Tibetan Monkey Skull
A look at reincarnation

A monkey that lived in a temple
Now silently staring back at us

In Tibetan Buddhism, the skull is
Not a symbol of fear, but of rebirth and wisdom.symbol。

A monkey who lived in a temple,
Now it silently stares back at us.

The time they lived there was shorter than that of other people,
But those eyes,
It seemed like I knew a lot more time.

He was just beside me.
I saw people praying.
That quiet memory
It remains in the form of a prayer.

The “form of prayer” that ZOCALO has been looking at is
Something that is born in someone's hands and disappears again.
itis not "all things",
A symbol for witnessing the moment called "now".

Tibetan monkey skull —
It looks between life and death,
Another look.
