This work is an installation and performance art piece created by Li Xinmo. The Swedish Museum invited her to participate in the exhibition The Story of Paper. In the museum space, a 30-meter-long volume of the Fahua Sutra, handwritten by her, was displayed. She began writing in an ancient ceremonial manner. Traditionally, those who copied scriptures were monks or men, with women rarely participating. By writing the scriptures, she aimed to challenge this gender exclusion, thus introducing a feminist perspective. In her view, the Buddha symbolizes the equality of all beings and transcends gender. Reading and writing Buddhist sutras were an early part of her studies. The sutras' interpretations of the universe and all things had a significant impact on her thinking. She believes that becoming a Buddha means transcending the current social structures and knowledge systems to unite with all things, thereby connecting with the energy field of the universe.
