Zazen

Clear like space
the Universe is burning,
but flames can't touch it.

~Dedicated to not-knowing mind.

Fish

A falling leaf
Shatters the ice on the pond,
Fish swim in water.

~Dedicated to Dogen Zenji

Being

Gagging on words
One misses the true moment,
Of just being.

~Dedicated to non-thinking mind.

Paisley Blue

To kiss your face,
For coming into this world,
Thank you Paisley Blue.

The temple bell,
Teaches the humility,
Of letting go.

~Dedicated to those who wholeheartedly practice the Way.

The Robin's song,
Resounding through the zendo,
Demonstrates the Way.

~Dedicated to Dogen Zenji
