It’s like riding a cow to return home

buffalo rider

buffalo rider (Cebu, 1981)

Finding a teacher to learn the truth
Is nothing special
It’s like riding a cow to return home.
If you can stride freely atop
A hundred foot pole
Countless buddhas will only be
Sparks in your eyes.

~ Buhyu Sunsoo (1543-1615)
