dark waters below,

the deep deep depths ever still, 

only surface churns

Only surface churns

appearing as though layers

meld into more shapes

reverse breating, golden

living men sit, don't lie down
dead men lie, don't sit

 

(Dead Man's Zazen

生夾坐不臥 While living, one sits up and lies not,

死去臥不坐 When dead, one lies and sits not;

元是臭骨頭 A set of ill-smelling skeleton!

何爲立功課 What is the use of toiling and moiling so?

A gâthâ by Hui-neng, T'an-ching)

dead men lie, don't sit

have a cup of tea; living...

have a cup of tea
