A few bits of enligtenment from a Zen master or two ...

'Loving old priceless things,
I've scorned those seeking
Truth outside themselves:
Here, on the tip of the nose'
-- Layman Makusho

'Sailing on Men River, I heard
A call: how deep, how ordinary.
Seeking what I'd lost,
I found a host of saints.'
-- Soan

'When you're both alive and dead,
Thoroughly dead to yourself,
How superb
The smallest pleasure!'
-- Bunan

'Madness, the way they gallop off to foreign shores!
Turning to the One Mind, I find my Buddhahood,
Above self and others, beyond coming and going.
This will remain when all else is gone.'
--Tanzan

'It's as if our heads were on fire, the way
We apply ourselves to pefecton of That.
The future but a twinkle, beat yourself,
Persist: the greatest effort's not enough.'
-- Kando
