Dogen’s Doei (道元道詠): Poems in the Way, 22

 

Thirty casual poems at my grass hut (2):

 

I, being foolish,

Needn’t become a Buddha,

If only, being a monk,

I could cross beings over!

 

 

Sōan-no gū-ei sanjisshu (2):

 

Orokanaru

Ware-wa hotoke-ni

Narazu-tomo

Shujō-wo watasu

Sō-no-mi-nareba

 

 

 

草庵偶成三十首 (2):

 

おろかなる

吾れは佛に

ならずとも

衆生を渡す

僧の身なれば
