Additional quotes by Ryōkan

The winds gives me Enough fallen leaves To make a fire

In this dream world
we doze
and talk of dreams — dream, dream on,
as much as you wish

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

In this world of dreams, drifting off still more; and once again speaking and dreaming of dreams. Just let it be. - Ryōkan
