On Wumenguan - koan 1
A Buddha nature
Real moon in a paper sky
Does a man have one?
(via Twitter / John Hicks)
Earth, mountains, rivers — hidden in this nothingness.
In this nothingness — earth, mountains, rivers revealed.
Spring flowers, winter snows:
There’s no being nor non-being, nor denial itself.
— Saisho (?-1506)
