Sandokai
"Within light there is darkness, but do not try to understand that darkness. Within darkness there is light, But do not look for that light. Light and darkness are a pair, like the foot before and the foot behind in walking."
- From the Sandokai - Identity of Relative and Absolute - 8th Century Chinese Zen text.
There is a secret one inside,
all the stars and all the galaxies
run through her hands like beads...
Looking For Something?
Root around here a bit
The Wake
Han-shan Te-ch’ing
Snow obstructs my brushwood
Door with me inside alone
One by one coral branches
Break in winter woods.
In the light of dawn
Mountain green is gone
If the plums have finished
Blooming, I for one can't tell
- (1546-1623)

Claiming your own blessedness leads to a deep desire to bless others.

Truth's naked radiance,
Cut off from the sense and the world,
Shines by itself.
No words for it.
- Pai-chang
When the ocean surges,
don't let me just hear it.
Let it splash inside my chest.
