  • It’s like riding a cow to return home

    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)

    Sunflower head in seed

    Use the wisdom of a diamond to control and rule it,
    since just like a plant, there is nothing to know.
    To know there is nothing to know
    is the wisdom to know everything.

    ~ Tao-shin (580-651)

  • Is there anything else to remember?

  • Don’t covet

    Not knowing its strength,
    The mosquito sucked too much blood to fly.
    Don’t covet what others value.
    You’ll pay for it someday.
