Din ciclul “Istorisirile Marulei şi ale Miyzundei”

Copacul mi-a spus:

“Marulabinde .. sudogande”

 

Şi i-am răspuns

 

Mierlele

In zori

Imi vor purta

Cuvintele

Şi gândul

Şi cântul

Dar mai ales

Copacul

[acela]

 

zen mood

Sitting quietly,
 doing nothing, 
spring comes
 and the grass 
grows by itself.

zen le petit prince elephants

7^th of November 2012

My dear Little Prince

Let me tell you about

All the elephants

I didn’t rode

But I let them go

Like

Pains I did not

Sooth

Like

Tears I did not

Shed

And dreams I did

Not (yet) live

But I’m still

Riding

The blue elephant

The more I listen,

The more I open

The elephants

Remind me

Of who

I am

blue moon

drawing

cloud and water

18 years
went by
so quickly

cloud
and
water
and a mountain
of fire

i humble bow
and sit

my zafou
is still
the same

“Well, well, the beard of Bodhidharma is all gone.” 29 jul 2012

The Gateless Gate, by Ekai, called Mu-mon, tr. Nyogen Senzaki and Paul Reps [1934], at sacred-texts.com

[Bodhidharma himself was wondering...]

4. A Beardless Foreigner


Wakuan complained when he saw a picture of bearded Bodhidharma: "Why hasn't that fellow a beard?"



Mumon's comment: If you want to study Zen, you must study it with your heart. When you attain realization, it must be true realization. You yourself must have the face of the great Bodhidharma to see him. Just one such glimpse will be enough. But if you say you met him, you never saw him at all.

One should not discuss a dream

In front of a simpleton.

Why has Bodhidharma no beard?

What an absurd question!
