Without worrying about a specific goal,
To be like an empty pumpkin
Floating on the current of water.
This is the floating world Ukiyo-e
Of the zazen.
Above, not a piece of tile
To cover the head;
Below, not an inch of earth
To rest a foot.
Wandering without waiting for anything
With the heart ready to grasp every sparkle of life.
Nothing anywhere is hidden,
Since the times everything is clear
Like daylight.

To a dream?"
A monk asked master Joshu.
"But the name is also a dream"
Joshu replied.
