Dogen’s Doei (道元道詠): Poems in the Way, 19

 

Poem made on “the storage of the right dharma eye”

 

A small boat being discarded,

Not tied by wind, pulled y waves,

The moon is the very realm

Of the middle of the night.

 

 

Shōbōgenzō-wo eizu:

 

Nami-mo hiki

Kaze-mo tsunaganu

Sute-obune

Tsuki-koso yowa-no

Sakai-nari-keri

 

 

詠正法眼蔵

 

波も引き

風もつながぬ

捨小舟

月こそ夜半の

さかひ成りけり
