hymn for offering incense upon the buddha’s attainment of the path

posted in Uncategorized on April 15, 2026 by Brian

courage, virtue, emptiness

 

The morning star

returns night after night;

the snows of the twelfth month 

linger from year to year.

 

Silly: Gautama’s

achieving some “special” state;

looking for a knife in the water by

marks in the ship’s hull.

 

Gidō Shūshin

 

in the ocean of dharma

luminary of the rinzai

 

In the ocean

of the holy dharma
 there is neither

movement nor stillness. 
The essence of the wave

is like a mirror;
 when something comes, the reflection

appears. 
When there is nothing in the mind,


wind and waves are both

forgotten.

 

Gidō Shūshin
