The Monastic Path

Here is a mathematical visual poem titled "The Monastic Path" the mathematical structure used is an Orthogonal Space Poem. The original image was shot at Tongdosa Monastery in South Korea in a room where monks perform their "Kyol Chae" a retreat where they meditate 100 days from 8 to 12 hours per day. The equation describes a full range of concepts but if we were to focus on having the equation express a value of near-infinite Lucidity then the ego would be near zero. The equation was inspired by the Tongdosa monastery monk seen in the imagery who I found to exhibit extreme confidence with no ego. I have never experienced this from anyone before this time.
