<p>Habilock: Undo revision 246 by Habilock (talk)</p> <hr /> <div>== The Path ==<br /> by Shinzen Young<br /> <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> If anybody asks you what the Path is about,&lt;br&gt;<br /> It's about generosity.&lt;br&gt;<br /> It's about morality.&lt;br&gt;<br /> It's about concentration.&lt;br&gt;<br /> It's about gaining insight through&lt;br&gt;<br /> focused self-observation.&lt;br&gt;<br /> It's about the cultivation of subjective states&lt;br&gt;<br /> of compassion and love based on insight.&lt;br&gt;<br /> And it's about translating that compassion&lt;br&gt;<br /> and love into actions in the real world.&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> == Holy Longing ==<br /> by Goethe, as translated by Shinzen Young<br /> <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> Tell it to no one but the wise&lt;br&gt;<br /> For most will mock it right away&lt;br&gt;<br /> The truly living do I prize&lt;br&gt;<br /> Those who long in flame to die.&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> In the coolness of love's evenings&lt;br&gt;<br /> Where you beget and were begotten,&lt;br&gt;<br /> You're overcome by strange new feeling&lt;br&gt;<br /> As the silent candle brightens.&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> No longer are you trapped and mired&lt;br&gt;<br /> In the darkened shadowings&lt;br&gt;<br /> But swept away by new desire&lt;br&gt;<br /> To a higher lovemaking.&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> Distance does not pall your flight&lt;br&gt;<br /> Spellbound through the air you're borne&lt;br&gt;<br /> Til at last mad for the light&lt;br&gt;<br /> You are a butterfly, then... gone.&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> And until you know of this:&lt;br&gt;<br /> How to grow through death&lt;br&gt;<br /> You're just another grumpy guest,&lt;br&gt;<br /> On the gloomy earth.&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> == The Best Season of Your Life ==<br /> by Wu-men, as translated by Shinzen Young<br /> <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> Spring brings the flowers.&lt;br&gt;<br /> Autumn, the moon.&lt;br&gt;<br /> Summer's refreshing breeze.&lt;br&gt;<br /> Winter's delightful freeze.&lt;br&gt;<br /> Once you have unburdened mind,&lt;br&gt;<br /> you find that every season's kind.&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> == The Buddha in Glory ==<br /> by Rainer Maria Rilke, as translated by Shinzen Young in July, 1998<br /> <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> Center of all centers, core of cores,&lt;br&gt;<br /> almond that enclosed itself to sweeten –&lt;br&gt;<br /> all of this, to the furthest stars&lt;br&gt;<br /> is your fruit-flesh: hear my greeting.&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> See, you feel nothing more upon you clinging;&lt;br&gt;<br /> your shell is open wide without a bound,&lt;br&gt;<br /> your ripe sap, infinite and streaming.&lt;br&gt;<br /> was aided by a light from far beyond,&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> Then, all above you,&lt;br&gt;<br /> full and fiery orbited your suns.&lt;br&gt;<br /> But that which will outlive the stars,&lt;br&gt;<br /> by you has now been won.&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;</div>
