Dogen’s Doei (道元道詠): Poems in the Way, 11

 

 

Poem made on “the awakening in the Way by seeing peach

flowers”:

 

The blossoms of peach trees

Have bloomed in the spring breeze

Leaving behind no doubts

Even to twigs and leaves.

 

Tōka-godō-wo eizu

 

Harukaze-ni

Hokorobinikeri

Momo-no hana

Eda-ha-ni wataru

Utagai-mo nashi

 

詠見桃花悟道

 

春風に

綻びにけり

桃の花

枝葉にわたる

疑ひもなし
