die and stay dead and go on living
To
realize the Way you
must die and stay dead and
go on living. With one mighty blow,
sever the attachments of mind
and self and dwell in
emptiness.
Pouring
emptiness into emptiness
like waves coming to shore,
you become quiet,
luminous,
still.
Where
before there were
ten thousand entanglements, now
there is undifferentiated
Oneness, clarity,
peace.

you are your own master
Want
to study with
an enlightened teacher?
Just stop giving rise to thoughts
and divisions and distinctions. When
self and other, good and bad, right
and wrong are replaced with
emptiness, you are your
own master.

in your light i learn how to love
In your light
I learn how to love.
In your beauty, how to make poems.
You dance inside my chest, where no one sees you,
but sometimes I do, and that sight
becomes this art.
the central benefit of zen
The central benefit of zen,
in the context of ordinary ups and downs
of life, is not in the context of preventing the minus
and promoting the plus, but in directing people
to the fundamental reality that is not
under the sway of ups
and downs.
