Underneath the Bodhi tree, I wait. The sunlight shifts through the leaves, I wait. The wind flows effortlessly, I wait. The birds sing, I wait. The moon rises, I wait. Through their harsh and condescending words, I wait. The temptations at my feet, I wait. For when I have my answer, it will come to me as clearly as the sunrise.


~Any art is not mine unless I state otherwise~

There is surely nothing other than the single purpose of the present moment. A man’s whole life is a succession of moment after moment. There will be nothing else to do, and nothing else to pursue. Live being true to the single purpose of the moment.
