- The sutra
- If at the end of our journey
- There be no final resting place,
- How can there be
- A way to lose ourselves in?
- Shakyamuni,
- That mischievous creature,
- Having appeared in the world,
- Misled, alas,
- How many people!
- The mind --
- What shall we call it?
- It is the sound of the breeze
- That blows through the pines
- In the Indian-ink picture.
- The mind remaining
- Just as it was born --
- Without any prayer
- It becomes the Buddha.
- Tell a lie,
- And you fall into hell.
- Then what will happen to Buddha
- Who contrived
- Things that don't exist?
