Carpe Diem Haiku Wisdom



Zazen in the dojo
Enlightenment getting closer
Yesterday’s dinner


The ordinary world
Doing everything at the same time
Not like breathing

木 You and I 木
We are like trees 林
In the forest 森

The Zen mirror
Remains unmoved
By what it reflects

After Dogen had burnt
The sacred Buddha statue
He discarded the ashes

  4. Yesterday's dinner (or supper or breakfast) may be a source of wisdom--or just heartburn! :)
