「Iwasaki Tsuneo’s stunningly beautiful paintings of life and the universe, rendered with lines of masterful miniature calligraphy of the Heart Sutra, reveal an infinite potential of dynamic interaction between scientific findings and the timeless wisdom of Buddhist teaching.」
（棚橋一晃）
「Generous, selfless, patient, creative, and transormative—we open this sumptuous book and are at once so blessed. These works are Iwasaki Tsuneo's miraculous gift to us all, born of his scientific intelligence, his patient suffering, and his determined love of life—his openness to horror and tragedy as well as beauty and astonishment.」
（Robert A. F. Thurman）
