Si Tout Est Sculpture, Pourquoi Faire de la Sculpture?
I keep thinking about this wise word of Ben Vautier which I've first found in probably 2022 on one wall of De Tempel in the academy, with great admiration and disappointment: isn't it the saddest and most pathetic of you to already have said it, then remained doing just that, instead of going anywhere, finding anything any fucking better to do?
Wu Deng Hui Yuan (The Source of the Five Lamps) / Volume Nine:
Original text in Chinese
师问仰山：涅槃经四十卷，多少是佛说，多少是魔说？
仰曰：总是魔说。
师曰：已后无人奈子何！
仰曰：慧寂即一期之事，行履在甚么处？
师曰：祇贵子眼正，不说子行履。
五灯会元/卷第九
The Master asked Yangshan: “forty volumes of the Nirvana Sutra, how much was spoken by the Buddha, how much by Mara (demon)?”
Yang replied, “All by Mara.”
The Master said, “From now on none could get hold of you!"
Yang said, “Hui (wisdom) and Ji (Silence / Nirvana) is a matter of a lifetime, where to walk the shoes?”
The Master said, “Only praising your eyes are straight, no speaking of your shoes.”
