I have been spending a lot of time recently refining my vision, so to speak. As I have worked on this I came across this poem by Zen Master Bassui Tokusho, a fourteenth century monk. Before I share the poem I wanted to first share with you a phrase he often used: I teach with the voice of silence. Silence has a very loud voice!
The last words he uttered before he died, and the poem I want to share with you today, may be his most simple and profound teaching.
Look straight ahead. What's there?
If you see it as it is
You will never err.
May toady be a day of seeing what's there.
