high rises the eastern peak
soaring up to the blue sky
among the rocks- an empty hollow,
secret, still, mysterious!
uncarved and unhewn,
screened by nature with a roof of clouds
time and seasons,what things are you,
bringing to my life ceaseless change?
I will lodge forever in this hollow
where springs and autumns unheeded pass.

tao-yun , 400c.e

all the sins committed
in the three worlds
will fade and disappear
together with myself

ikkyu-zen master

death is not just ice becoming water
it's water returning to water
