The plants and flowers
I raised about my hut
I now surrender
To the will
Of the wind -- Ryokan
Ryokan Quotes : pic 000135670
Too lazy to be ambitious,
I let the world take care of itself.
Ten days' worth of rice in my bag;
a bundle of twigs by the fireplace.
Why chatter about delusion and enlightenment?
Listening to the night rain on my roof,
I sit comfortably, with both legs stretched out. -- Ryokan
Ryokan Quotes : pic 000213904
When all thoughts
Are exhausted
I slip into the woods
And gather
A pile of shepherd's purse.
Like the little stream
Making its way
Through the mossy crevices
I, too, quietly
Turn clear and transparent. -- Ryokan

Serenaded by a stray bird or two.
Kings and commoners end up the same,
No more enduring than last night's dream. -- Ryokan

And transparent,
And you will
Never be bound.

Creates ten thousand distractions. -- Ryokan

the truth in distant places?
Look for delusion and truth in the
bottom of your own heart. -- Ryokan

In all ten directions of the universe, there is only one truth. When we see clearly, the great teachings are the same. What can ever be lost? What can be attained? If we attain something, it was there from the beginning of time. If we lose something, it is hiding somewhere near us. -- Ryokan

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