‘In front of the Patriarch’s room
The road is smoothA thousand years pass in vain
Moss growsBright moon
Shines like snowThe Second Patriarch
Jakushitsu Genkō
His arm severed
Still hasn’t arrived.’
On our Twitter account, Buddhism Now @Buddhism_Now, most mornings we post a ‘morning meditation’ like the one above.
On the net, of course, it’s morning, afternoon, evening, or nighttime 😀 somewhere.
