“I hope that someday, somebody wants to hold you for twenty minutes straight, and that’s all they do. They don’t pull away. They don’t look at your face. They don’t try to kiss you. All they do is wrap you up in their arms, without an ounce of selfishness in it.”

“The voice of the Buddha can be heard in the sound of the wind and the chirping of the birds.” - Kukai

The above is one of the poems read by Kukai. The significance of the poem is as follows:

In the quiet woods of Mt. Koya, when sitting alone in a grass hall at dawn in a state of selfless contemplation, there comes out of nowhere the call of a single buzzard.

The bird is probably singing mindlessly, but those who hear it feel something in their hearts. The sound of the bird and the human heart, the clouds in the mountains and the flow of the river all merge into one, and here the teaching of the Buddha is clearly realised. Buddha, Dharma, and monks.

Kukai (b. 27 July 774 – d. 22 April 835), posthumously called Kōbō Daishi ("The Grand Master who Propagated the Dharma"), was a Japanese Buddhist monk, calligrapher, and poet who founded the esoteric Shingon school of Buddhism.

Empty your mind of all thoughts.

Let your heart be at peace.

Watch the turmoil of beings, but contemplate their return.

"The practitioner should be at peace within. Do not seek tranquility outside. There is nothing that can be taken away from a person who is at peace within. " Buddha (Sutta Nipata 919)

The Movement of Plants 🌱

To learn the Buddhist Way is to learn about oneself. To learn about oneself is to forget oneself. To forget oneself is to perceive oneself as all things. To realize this is to cast off the body and mind of self and others.
