    ~ Wonkam Chungji

  • It’s like riding a cow to return home

    buffalo rider (Cebu, 1981)

    Finding a teacher to learn the truth
    Is nothing special

    If you can stride freely atop
    A hundred foot pole
    Countless buddhas will only be
    Sparks in your eyes.

    ~ Buhyu Sunsoo (1543-1615)
