"Hundreds of flowers ...."




Hundreds of flowers in spring, the moon in autumn,
a cool breeze in summer, and snow in winter;
if there is no vain cloud in your mind
for you it is a good season.
Mumon Ekai (Wumen Huik’ai)

"Spring comes with its flowers ...."





Spring comes with its flowers, autumn with the moon,
summer with breezes, winter with snow;
when useless things don't stick in the mind,
that is your best season.

Wumen Huikai, Wumenguan (The Gateless Gate)
