I have nothing to report, my friend
If you want to find the meaning
Stop chasing after so many things
Ryokan Taigu
If someone asks me what is the mark
of awakening or illusion
I cannot say -
wealth and honor are nothing but dust
As the evening rain falls
I sit in my hermitage
and stretch out both feet in answer
良寛大愚
Ryokan Taigu
(1758-1831)
