Question
Sorry to bother you with this, but was wondering if you could tell me the meaning of the three larger yellow characters on this picture I use for one of my desktop images, I'm thinking it's chinese, but I'm not sure...
I found the image at this address, only way I can think of to show you.

Thank you very much for your help!

Answer
Hello Forrest, first of all, sorry having you wait so long, for some unknown reason, I never received the email of your question.
well, let's see if I can help you...that phrase is a buddhism phrase, I think. I am not sure what buddhism meaning it contains when you put them together. but each character of them has its own meaning as well. Starting from the top.
it reads Jie, means "quit"
the one in the middle, reads "ding", means "still"
and the last one! by the way, this is my name! haaaha, reads "Hui", means "wise, wisdom"! Good word!
Hope this information is helpful somehow...
