A mind to search elsewhere
For the Buddha,
Is foolishness
In the very center of foolishness.
My self of long ago,
In nature non-existent;
Nowhere to go when dead,
Nothing at all.
Whatever runs counter
To the mind and will of ordinary people
Hinders the Law of Men
And the Law of Buddha.
From "Ikkyu's Doka", The Young East - translated by RH Blyth
You light the fire;
I'll show you something nice -
A great ball of snow!
