Additional quotes by 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.

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

See and realize that this world is not permanent. Neither late nor early flowers will remain.

I have nothing to report, my friends. If you want to find the meaning, Stop chasing after so many things. - Ryōkan
