Zen Haiku – February 11, 2014

Ah – zen mind wu-wei
moving without intension
sunrise in the morn

without a klesa*
without begging daily bread
the way is still clear

reflecting this morn
upon the way of darma
where’s the teddy bear

no temple bells ring
just birds singing in the sky
illumination

eat when you’re hungry
when you’re tired sleep – don’t reason
the pooh will show you

*In Japanese Buddhism the kāṣāya (monks robes) is called kesa (Jp. 袈裟).
