Ikkyu Sojun (1394-1481)


Ikkyu Poems
.
my self of long ago
what will happen to buddha
man of original inactivity
you must travel

no such thing as mind
all are just as they are
to return to the sky of our native place?
who is the buddha?

i would like to offer you something
we have no companion
the real form of buddha
why are people called buddhas
original man must return
