Pourquoi me sentirais-je Dans le besoin ? Devant ma porte de broussailles, La lune est là, Les fleurs sont là. - Ryōkan

The water of the valley stream Never shouts at the tainted world: “Purify yourself!” But naturally, as it is, Shows how it is done.

If someone asks
about the mind of this monk,
say it is no more than
a passage of wind
in the vast sky.

The flower invites the butterfly with no-mind;
The butterfly visits the flower with no-mind.
The flower opens, the butterfly comes;
The butterfly comes, the flower opens.
I don't know others,
Others don't know me.
By not-knowing we follow nature's course
