Oriental Fine Art Zen Monk Finger Pointing to the Moon Symbolic Figurine

Description

A zen master was speaking with his finest student when he looked up and pointed at the moon.  His student pondered this gesture for some time staring at the finger while the master continued to point.  Finally the student asked what he meant by this, for he had taught him many things but this time he felt baffled.  "I am but the finger pointing at the moon" the master answered.  "I am not the moon."    A fabulous analogy of how we must take what we have been taught and go experience it.  We don't know a thing really until we have experienced that.    This has always been one of my favorite figurines and it has been well cared for.    Measuring 6" tall X 6" wide by 5" deep the realistic features of this figurine can be enjoyed from any angle.  Weight is 1 lb 4.6 oz.
