Ryōkan - Selected Teachings/Poetry for Meditation (3) - Zen Buddhism

Ryōkan Taigu (1758–1831) was a quiet and unconventional Sōtō Zen
Buddhist monk who lived much of his life as a hermit. Ryōkan is
remembered for his poetry and calligraphy, which present the
essence of Zen life. He renounced the world at an early age to
train at nearby Sōtō Zen temple Kōshō-ji, refusing to meet with
or accept charity from his family.
