Wandering Mind

Monday, July 30th, 2001

Let your mind wander in simplicity,
blend your spirit with the vastness,
follow along with things the way they are,
and make no room for personal views,
then the world will be governed.

- Chuang-tzu.

Moon in the pond

I contemplate:
Moon in the pond.
Of my old friends,
How many know the Way?

Death poetry

Coming and going, life and death;
A thousand hamlets, a million houses.
Dont you get the point?
Moon is the water, blossom in the sky.

- Gizan
