a buddhist love poem

Interesting

This is a love poem between a Buddhist monk and a nun. The monk lived in a little hut in the woods. The nun, without a word, passed by every day on her way to the monastery. We don’t know if they ever “hooked up” but I for one hope they did.

Alternatively you might think of it as a beautiful poem about meeting love every day as if fresh and new.


A Buddhist love poem by Ryocan

With no mind blossoms invite the butterfly
With no mind the butterfly visits the blossoms
When the flower blooms the butterfly comes
When the butterfly comes the flower blooms

I do not know others
Others do not know me
Not knowing each other we naturally
Follow the way


Happy Monday.
