Ryokan Quotes and VERSES



"Keep your heart clear and transparent, and you will never be bound. A single disturbed thought creates ten thousand distractions." ~Ryokan

VERSE

"If there is beauty, there must be ugliness;
If there is right, there must be wrong.
Wisdom and ignorance are complementary,
Illusion and enlightenment cannot be separated.
This is an old truth, don't think it was discovered recently.
"I want this, I want that"
Is nothing but foolishness.
I'll tell you a secret -
"All things are impermanent."
~Ryokan

"If your hermitage
Is deep in the mountains
Surely the moon,
Flowers and crimson leaves
Will become your friends."
~Ryokan
