Jim Posted January 12, 2019 at 02:08 PM Report Share Posted January 12, 2019 at 02:08 PM Looks like it reads 安止, which is a fairly rare word for being settled etc. but noticed it's used to translate appana samadhi as 安止定 http://www.buddhanet.net/mettac3.htm https://baike.baidu.com/item/安止定 perhaps that's the meaning they were after?

大块头 Posted January 12, 2019 at 02:32 PM Report Share Posted January 12, 2019 at 02:32 PM Given the really poor calligraphy, I'm going to guess this is an attempt to tattoo the initials "CH" with the gibberish Asian font. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timacro Posted January 13, 2019 at 03:13 AM Report Share Posted January 13, 2019 at 03:13 AM it stemed from buddhism term 安止定， means you achieved at a extraordinary high level of keeping still and in deep meditation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
