A poem of Ryokan

priest senkei
true walker on the true path

working in silence
with no extra words
thirty years in kokusen

never meditating
never reading sutras
never speaking of buddhism
simply doing good for everyone

i saw him but i did not see him
i met him but i did not meet him

oh! how impossible to imitate!
priest senkei
true walker on the true path
