No hay que juntarse con malas compañías, no hay que juntarse con compañías despreciables. Júntate con buenas compañías, júntate con compañías nobles. Guishan, el maestro zen clásico, escribió en sus famosas Admoniciones: «La compañía de los buenos es como caminar entre el rocío y la niebla; aunque a uno no le mojen la ropa, ésta termina por empaparse de humedad. La familiaridad con el mal aumenta el conocimiento y los puntos de vista erróneos, creando mal día y noche.»
You are as the yellow leaf.
The messengers of death are at hand.
You are to travel far away.
What will you take with you?
You are the lamp
To lighten the way.
Then hurry, hurry.
When your light shines
Without impurity or desire
You will come into the boundless country.
Your life is falling away.
Death is at hand.
Where will you rest on the way?
What have you taken with you?
You are the lamp
To lighten the way.
Then hurry, hurry.
When your light shines purely
You will not be born
And you will not die.
