第六十九化、《柱像纹》
布面油画,120×90cm,2016 年 8 月 29 日
唐朝李隆基时,蜀地一个庙设斋,有个后来的道士,进到后殿就不见了。众人寻找,忽现于
殿柱中,隐起一木纹老君。后来,蜀地官员把柱子送到京城,呈献给皇帝。从修道的角度说,
无形的大道之光,可以在任何材质上显现。
Sixty-ninth, "Image on the column"
oil on canvas, 120 × 90cm, August 29, 2016
During the period of Emperor Li Longji of Tang Dynasty, a temple in Shu area
provided a vegetarian feast. A Taoist following behind disappeared after entering
the apse. Everyone was looking for him and suddenly saw a wood-carved image of
Laojun revealed on the column. Later, officials from Shu sent the column to the
capital and presented it to the emperor. From the perspective of practicing Tao,
the light of the invisible Tao can be revealed in any material.
