      There is no final

  • That stone buddha deserves all the bird droppings it gets
    I wave my skinny arms like a tall flower in the wind.
  • Anybody can enter the Buddha's world so few can step into the devil's.
  • Every day, priests minutely examine the Law
    And endlessly chant complicated sutras.
    Before doing that, though, they should learn
    How to read the love letters sent by the wind
    and rain, the snow and moon.
