“Take the dharma seriously, and yourself lightly.”
The Feh! cloth is a silkscreen print of an original sumi-e calligraphy by Zen Mountain Monastery’s founding abbot, John Daido Loori Roshi (1931-2009). Roshi’s successors thought it was his way of poking fun at himself. The image – possibly a self-portrait – is underlined by the feh!, a dismissal of sorts similar to Bah! Use it as an oryoki wiping cloth, a handkerchief, or keep it as a memento of the playful spirit of this contemporary Zen Master.
