Cool.
If you liked those, here are a few more. Ikkyu's
most famous (or
possibly infamous) poem is at the
end.
Unc
**********************************
Many paths
lead from
The foot of the mountain
But at the peak
We all gaze at the
Single bright moon
**********************************
Ten
days
In the monastery
Made me restless.
The red thread
On my
feet
Is long and unbroken.
If one day you come
Looking for me,
Ask
for me
At the fishmonger's,
In the tavern,
Or in the
brothel.
**********************************
If you break open
the cherry tree,
Where are the flowers?
But in the spring time, see how
they bloom!
**********************************
Rain and hail,
snow and ice
Are divided from one another;
But after they fall,
They
are the same water
Of the stream in the
valley.
**********************************
To write something
and leave it behind us,
It is but a dream.
When we awaken we
know
There is not even anyone to read
it.
**********************************
pleasure pain
are
equal in a clear heart
no mountain hides the
moon
**********************************
A Woman's Sex:
It has
the original mouth but remains wordless;
It is surrounded by a magnificent
mound of hair.
Sentient beings can get completely lost in it
But it is
also the birthplace of all the Buddhas of the ten thousand
worlds.
