Just a few poems and quotes...

[Rhineville]

The water is a mirror
I cannot see the bottom
But I feel ashamed
For the bottom can see me clearly
------------------------------------------------
Steady like a mountain,
Attack like fire
Still as a wood
swift as the wind
in Heaven and Earth
You alone are to be reveared
----------------------------------------------
Nobody in the world is capable of everything
if we looked for the man who could do everything
then even the wisest of the wise would not be qualified
------------------------------------------------------
When seeking to bathe, one does not need the sea
When seeking a horse, one does not need a famous steed
Just one that can run well

Anyone else have some oriental poems?

[gooner]

Into a soul absolutely free
From thought and emotion,
Even the tiger finds no room
To insert its fierce claws.

One and the same breeze passes
Over the pines on the mountain
And the oak trees in the valley;
And why do they give different notes?

No thinking, no reflecting,
Perfect emptiness;
Yet therein somethng moves,
Following its own course.

The eye sees it,
But no hands can take hold of it-
The moon in the stream.

Clouds and mists,
They are midair transformations;
Above them eternally shine the sun and the moon.

Victory is for the one,
Even before the combat,
Who has no thought of himself,
Abiding in the no-mindedness of great origin.
