As I was on my way to Kyoto this morning, i wrote the followings cheap poems:

Books and ideas are far too serious

Children and walks

will show you the way

All these words

pointing at the ineffable

snow on snow

Well,this is an attempt to convey the sheer simplicity of our path. Studyingis of course important, reading sutra and texts is a necessary foodmore for practice than for thought. It is not intended to fill our headwith notions, opinions, views and concepts. The reading of Shobogenzoshould take us to the reading of things as it is not to blur ourvision. We live in this ever changing beauty and at the same time, weare often trapped in a box filled with old stuff. How can we open our eyes to the very wonder? How can we never get caught by selfimportance and certainty?
Sitting in the unconditionnal state, resting in the seal at ease and in peace, and begin each and every time.
