Blog Carpe Diem Zenrakuji (Temple 30)
Sound of the temple bell
Snow flakes falling down silently
The monk wipes his nose
The peaceful temple bell
Butterflies come with the breeze
Pilgrims waking up
Summer cicadas’
Namu Amida Butsu
Creaking wooden floor
Bamboo is swaying
The wind brings rain and autumn
They polish Buddha
Sehr schön Lothar. My German isn't that good, so I go on in English. Really this is a wonderfully composed series of haiku based on Buddhism. That last one is a masterpiece and I love to use it for one of our Tan Renga Challenges which will start again in April.
ReplyDeleteThankk you, Kristjaan. Please feel free to use the haiku in the Tan Renga Challenges. I hope to participate more regularly than in the past weeks.
