[melanie]

I don't want to talk about letters and numbers,
and what equals this or that.

I'm here to plant a little seed

In all ten directions of the universe,

There is only one truth.
When we see clearly, the great teachings are the same.

What can ever be lost? What can be attained?

If we attain something, it was there from the beginning of time.
If we lose something, it is hiding somewhere near us.
Look! this ball in my pocket!
can you see how priceless it is?

Ryokan

thankyou.
