Certain readers of this blog may not realize the most amazing thing about this shirt, spotted at the Bumbershoot music and arts festival in Seattle. It's not the quote, a not-half-bad comment on the Heart Sutra, it's the logo beneath it, which is for the Staten Island hip-hop collective Wu-Tang Clan. I think the quote is attributable to member The RZA, who has written a book, The Tao of Wu, and has found inspiration in the teachings of The Nation of Gods and Earths (the "Five-Percent Nation") and has since delved into Taoism, Christianity, Confucianism, and Buddhism.
The dharma is everywhere, but sometimes it's a lot more obvious than others.
