Dedication

Giving of Oneself / Being Devoted to a Cause

Close up view of the calligraphy artwork mounted to this silk brocade wall scroll

This is a Chinese word that means dedication. This is the kind of dedication where you give of yourself, your resources, and your whole heart. In some contexts, this word can mean to offer respectfully, to consecrate, to devote, and in the Buddhist context, to give an offering (of money, one's time or another form of dedication).

The inscription on the right reads, 大愛無疆 愛是一種奉獻 and roughly translates as, "Love is boundless, love is a kind of dedication".
