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

  1. 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.
