Catch A bag of beef
Whatever the herdsman undertake,
beef does not leave easily catch
accustomed to wander misty ravines
or the snowy peaks
He is fiery and strength unheard
The good friend asks: "Did you catch the animal?"
- No matter what I try, it slips away
- Well, beef is captured!
For whatever he does or does not
man binds himself
An old said: "Better to be without business "

skin
The moon has its reflection in the water bag
skin
But looking to the moon?
His own reflection?
Surely an unfathomable mystery
Zendo
The mind in search of mind Master
The mind, as it is own
is not accessible to the senses
It is also not accessible to the intellect
It is that by which everything is made possible
And the senses, and objects of sense
And the mind and mental objects
The mind in search of mental
is the practice here in this zendo
But when the finger points at the moon
Beware do not watch the finger
Zendo
Mirror Introspection
The master pattern ten thousand things without being affected
The mirror is held Still The Man Without
business and out through the gates of the senses
Nothing ever stops
day and night he watches
Zendo
Keep non ideogram Mu
the heart of attention
to and fro of breath
Such introspection is wise
thoughts that rise
fall like autumn leaves and litter
the ground of a brown carpet of gold
Zendo
Riding beef
Now that beef is recognized
It there is nothing more to seek
Simply just admire the ten thousand things
Effortlessly man keeps the flange
And the beef goes back to the house
the master on the back
