  • Ryōkan Taigu (1758-1831) was a quiet and unconventional Sōtō Zen Buddhist monk who lived much of his life as a hermit. Ryōkan is remembered for his poetry and calligraphy, which present the essence of Zen life. He renounced the world at an early age to train at nearby Sōtō Zen temple Kōshō-ji, refusing to meet with or accept charity from his family.
    The poems read have been taken from Spirit Awake website and can be found here: www.spiritawak...
    Music: Fumio Miyashita - 'White Morning'
    Rodrigo Rodriguez - Japanese Shakuhachi Flute

    Dear Listener, this recording has some copyrighted music in the video so YT plays ADS to collect revenue for the record company. I have no control over the ads that appear as it is all RUclips placing ads for the music companies as I used copyrighted material in this old recording. My channel is not monetized so I make no money from them or the ads that appear. I try not to use copyrighted music anymore. If you purchase a RUclips premium subscription you can avoid ads. The responsibility is all on your end.

    Alternate translation:
    Early spring
    The landscape is tinged with the first
    fresh hints of green
    Now I take my wooden begging bowl
    And wander carefree through town
    The moment the children see me
    They scamper off gleefully to bring their friends
    They’re waiting for me at the temple gate
    Tugging from all sides so I can barely walk
    I leave my bowl on a white rock
    Hang my pilgrim’s bag on a pine tree branch
    First we duel with blades of grass
    Then we play ball
    While I bounce the ball, they sing the song
    Then I sing the song and they bounce the ball
    Caught up in the excitement of the game
    We forget completely about the time
    Passersby turn and question me:
    "Why are you carrying on like this?"
    I just shake my head without answering
    Even if I were able to say something
    how could I explain?
    Do you really want to know the meaning of it all?
    This is it! This is it!

    As long as I don’t aim,
    I won’t miss.
    With the catalpa bow
    I shoot an arrow
    toward the open sky.
