FUKETSU’S SPECK OF DUST

Sitting on the cushion
when you think,
there is only this thought
and the next thought,
and the cushion
has no purpose.
When there is
no thought, there is
only this moment
and the cushion
is the entire world.

A reflection on Case 34 of the Book of Equanimity (従容錄, Shōyōroku)
