ZEN DEATH POETRY

Traditionally a Zen Master would write a poem when about to die.

The poem served as a summation of life and a gift to inspire his disciples.

DEATH POEM....

Coming and going, life and death;

A thousand hamlets, a million houses.

Dont you get the point?

Moon is the water, blossom in the sky....GIZAN.

The Method of Zen

DEATH POEM....

Life as we

Find it, death too.

A parting poem?

Why insist?....Ta-Hui Tsung-Kao.
