On The Winter Beach

On The Winter Beach

I walk on the winter beach
from here to there
and beyond where the beach ends
past indifferent sea gulls
over beached kelps
over bleached sea shells
to the sound of crushing waves
to the call of ebbing memories
I walk on the winter beach
I shall go
I must go
alone
beyond where the beach ends

Occupy Wall Street

Occupy Wall Street

Occupy Wall Street Movement is not a political movement. It is beyond that.



One Thousand Frogs

one frog chants a mantra
to the silent moon

two frogs chant a mantra
to the merciful silent moon

ten frogs chant a mantra
to the bright merciful silent moon

one thousand frogs chant a manta
to the large bright merciful silent moon

one god

god?
there is only one god
there is no other god
god has no god
god is an atheist

This is one reason why they pray "our father in heaven"
but never "our grand-father in heaven"
there is no ancestor worship for god
that's for chinese

Full Moon

on his own shadow

Blessing

Blessing

he has ceased to be a Buddhist
to become a good Buddhist

when will a baboon
cease to be a baboon?

Grace and Resiliency


The great Russian writer Tolstoy once wrote, that all happy families are alike but each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way. In other words, one might say that one’s true character is indiscernible in happy times but in misery it shows itself quite clearly. In the recent calamity and tragedy which struck Japan, its people displayed their true character for the entire world to see. There has been no report of looting, arson, rape, homicide, stealing, assault and battery, civil disorder, mayhem, even bickering. They remained considerate of, and respectful to, each other, and polite, civil and graceful in such a horrible disaster. With such strength of character and resiliency, they will, I am sure, recover and rebuild their society. I salute them.
