Zen Poetry

Enlightenment is like the moon reflected on the water.
The moon does not get wet, nor is the water broken.
Although its light is wide and great,
The moon is reflected even in a puddle an inch wide.
The whole moon and the entire sky
Are reflected in one dewdrop on the grass.
~ Dogen



Though I think not
To think about it,
I do think about it
And shed tears
Thinking about it.
~ Ryokan
