The right answer is above but perhaps you need the image? If so click on the file in the reference, save it to your disc or open it where it is and presto.

Comment: "I greatly appreciate the thoughtfulness. It has helped me
to realize that what I was looking could actually be in
more than one form. The image is exactly what I wanted.
However, I am not able to view any image after clicking on
the reference link. Do I need some specific software??
Any hints ???
Thank you,
Dan"

生死
I'm not sure what the characters are for "Ichi Jo," but the characters for "Sei Shi" are 生死 (Life, Death). Perhaps someone else can elaborate on the rest.

生死一如
生 ＝ life
死 ＝ death
一如 ＝ same thing (,meaning there is only one truth and no matter how peoples' lives and everything in this world looks different, ballance will come out on the wash and would amount to fairness somewhere because of recarnation.)
By the way, are you looking for the charecters for "ichi jo" that can also be read as "ichi nyo"?
