Friends
Here i take the privilege of reminding you a precious wild zen monk IKKYU - Lab of feelings and emotions -- that are best expressed through his poetry .
Not long before his death he told his disciples:
"After I’m gone, some of you will seclude yourselves in the forests and mountains to meditate, while others may drink rice wine and enjoy the company of women. Both kinds of Zen are fine, but if some become professional clerics, babbling about “Zen as the Way,” they are my enemies"

Such are his wild ways of thinking and living......

Come let us chat with him.......
