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

on his own shadow

Blessing

Blessing

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.

A Tree On The Beach

long ago
when you were very young
you sat alone on the beach
and wrote you name on the sand
then the ocean wave came quietly
and carried it away to the far away shore
where a lone tree stands today
remembering
your very name
lost long ago

Una Furtive Lagrima

Una furtiva lagrima
Negli occhi suoi spunto:
Quelle festose giovani
Invidiar sembro.
Che piu ceracando io vo?
M’ama, lo vedo.

Un solo instante i palpiti
Del suo bel cor sentir!
I miei sospir, confondere
Per poco a’ suoi sospir!
Cielo, si puo morir!
Di piu non chiedo.

A Howling Hermit

A Howling Hermit

His mind was empty
His heart was resonant

The thunder storm came
He sat still and howled like a demon

The storm was gone
He opened his eyes and became mute

YourBeginning And My End

The End With No Beginning

Your Beginning And My End

the beginning with no end
you say your love for me is forever
your love is eternal
there is no end

the end with no beginning
I say my love for you is not forever
my love is not eternal
there is no beginning

as your music begins
my music ends
as your passion ignites
my passion is extinguished

as you are being remembered
I am being forgotten
as you are born and reborn
I leave the cycle of life
and when you become a goddess
I shall be no more

Santoka's Shadow

Santoka's Shadow - two mantras

Into the mountain
He went
Never to return

Deep into the mountain
He went
Never to return

Deep into the green mountain
He went
Never to return

The road
To a crematorium

The empty road
To a crematorium

The nearby empty road
To a crematorium

New Years Eve

New Year's Eve

silence between them
silence binding them
she and he
side by side
neither whispering nor listening
in this new year's eve
in a place dark and unknown
wait for the snow to fall
