HAIKU'S

"Be silent
Close your eyes
Feel your body to be completely frozen
Now with tremendous urgency, look inwards
Gather all your conciousness like an arrow pointing to the centre of your being
The centre of your being is the target, because at the centre of your being you are the buddha
Once you have reached the buddha,
You can take a jump into the beyond
Then words lose meaning
Only a silent, luminous life remains with a music of its own, with no movement - but a GREAT DANCE."

"I clap my hands
and with the echoes
it begins the dawn -
the summer moon"

"Butterflies setting out
to cross the sea
have disappeared:
my self comes back to me"

"The passing days and months
are eternal travellers in time"

"First the morning, then the noon time came and departed. Now the sun is setting; a beautiful sunset is spreading over the western horizon.

Every day I see the sunrise, the burgeoning of the day and its passing. and I also see that I do not rise or pass into afternoon or sunset.

Everything is a flowing current, but this 'I' is not part of it. The 'I' is not with the current, but outside it and beyond it."

"In the moment when you experience this - that everything is as it should be - you become buddha."

"Are there shortcuts
in the sky
oh summer moon?"
