Peace is within oneself to be found in the same place as agitation and suffering. It is not found in a forest or on a hilltop, nor is it given by a teacher. Where you experience suffering, you can also find freedom from suffering. Trying to run away from suffering is actually to run toward it.

-Ajahn Chah

[entheognosis]

Do everything with a mind that lets go. If you let go a little, you will have a little peace. If you let go a lot, you will have a lot of peace. If you let go completely, you will know complete peace and freedom. Your struggles with the world will have come to an end...

Shaman mask / Canada

Transformation mask Nuu-chah-nulth (Nootka) British Columbia, Northwest Coast, Canada

Carved wood, pigments, hide and nails 19th century Height: 16 ¼ in. (41 cm)

Northwest Coast masks manifest shamanic transformation, usually an animal changing into an ancestor or one animal becoming another.

This mask, when presented wide open, reveals a human face, but when the two side pieces are closed, it forms the head of bird of prey. A ceremonial dancer could pull on its strings at the appropriate moment to re-enact the story of a clan ancestor transforming from animal to human.

As the artist Bill Reid suggested (see Form and Freedom: A Dialogue on Northwest Coast Indian Art, 1975), « what is shown in these decorative motifs and sculptures is not the different stages in the transformation of beings, but the propensity of all beings (human or animal) to incarnate their own metamorphoses ».

The Nuu-chah-nulth people are from the western side of Vancouver Island on the Pacific Northwest Coast. When Captain James Cook first encountered Nuu-chah-nulth villagers at Yuquot during his Third Voyage in 1778, he heard a local expression, nuutka (meaning « to circle around »). He misinterpreted this term as the First Nation's name for the inlet (still known today as Nootka Sound). « Nootka » was subsequently also applied to the indigenous inhabitants of the area until the name was finally corrected to Nuu-chah-nulth.

This exceptional transformation mask, formerly in the collections of the Heye Foundation (Museum of the American Indian) in New York had remained in the celebrated collection of Faith-Dorian and Martin Wright since February 1969.

It is redolent with a supernatural power and poetry.

Try to be mindful, and let things take their natural course. Then your mind will become still in any surroundings, like a clear forest pool. All kinds of wonderful, rare animals will come to drink at the pool, and you will clearly see the nature of all things. You will see many strange and wonderful things come and go, but you will be still. This is the happiness of the Buddha. Ajahn Chah

Killer Whale Pod of Many Nations (2006) by Odin Lonning (Tlingit) carved cedar with acrylic

The seven-foot-long red cedar carving of five killer whales in five Northwest Coast Native art styles is a tribute to endangered orcas and Coastal tribes from Puget Sound to Alaska.

The Tlingit whale denotes how a crest originates in the story of Natsiclané, or Creation of the Killer Whale. The Haida whale embodies two stories about the Raven-Finned Killer Whale and the adventures of Nanasimgit and His Wife. The Nuu-chah-nulth whale signifies the timeless wolf-killer whale connection in their culture and commemorates Tsux’iit (Luna).

The Kwakwaka’wakw whale celebrates the triumphant reunion of Keetla (Springer) with her pod in Namgis First Nation territory in British Columbia. A vocal delegation of “Springer’s Peeps” cheered enthusiastically for this whale, which shows Springer spyhopping. The Coast Salish whale pays homage to the Indigenous peoples and Southern Resident orcas of the Salish Sea.

"Đừng nghĩ ngợi gì nhiều, chỉ biết là mọi sự đều phải như vậy. Hiện tại không ai có thể giúp được con, gia đình con hay của cải của con không có thể làm gì cho con được, chỉ có chánh niệm, sự tỉnh thức mới có thể giúp con được lúc này. Vậy đừng có ngần ngại gì nữa, hãy buông bỏ hết đi, dù con có không buông bỏ mọi sự cũng sẽ rời bỏ con mà đi. Khi ta còn chưa trở về nhà thật sự của mình, chúng ta sẽ còn cảm thấy bất an dù ta có làm gì chăng nữa." Thiền sư Ajahn Chah
