Dogen’s Doei (道元道詠): Poems in the Way, 23

 

Thirty casual poems at my grass hut (3):

 

The grass of encountering

The Shakya-Dharma with great joy –

I would never tread on

The path other than this.

 

 

Sōan-no gū-ei sanjisshu (3):

 

Ureshiku-mo

Saka-no mi-nori-ni

Au mi-kusa

Kakete-mo hoka-no

Michi-wa fumame-ya

 

 

草庵之偶詠三十首 (3):

 

嬉しくも

釈迦の御法に

あふみ草

かけても外の

道をふまめや
