I do not practice Buddhism but it was included in the gift exchange I had with my Japanese language exchange buddy. Had fun! Was reminded once again that calligraphy is no joke. Hard to make lines look as elegant as the printed text.

And as undying traditional of anything written anywhere near the start of the year, I miswrote the year. To 2003 of all things lol
