What do you think there is up on the mountaintop?

Come down.

A peach tree's flowering at the crossroads.

" I'm off again today. . . "

 

 

Hey, were you talking about old Buddha?

Why, old Buddha's no Buddha.

Real Buddha's a fish just netted

leaping and jumping.

 

 

Jang Ku-song the hermit was busy shitting

when he heard frogs croaking. It made him

recite

 

The croaking of frogs on moonlit nights in early

spring

pierces the world from end to end, makes us all

one family.

 

Look, if you've had your shit,

wipe yourself and get out of here.
