This wall scroll is discounted because of a tear on the backside of the roller (at the bottom back of the scroll). I repaired this with some acid-free conservation tape, and you could never see it from the front when hanging on your wall. But it's still repaired, so I'm discounting it.

奉獻

Dedication

Giving of Oneself / Being Devoted to a Cause

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".
