Like dew that vanishes,
like a phantom that disappears,
or the light cast
by a flash of lightning--
so should one think of oneself
Ikkyu Sojun
Ikkyu Sojun (1394-1481)
A Zen Buddhist monk who is supposed to have been eccentric even by the standards of Zen at the time.
Well, ole Ikky may have been eccentric, but the pome is straight ahead Dharma, no heterodoxy there at all.
Excuse me now, I have to go look up heterodoxy.
