Dream Fish
Three Treasures Sangha of the Pacific Northwest

In the Diamond Sangha Tradition


Yong-jia Xuanjue (?-713)

I have entered the deep mountains to silence and beauty;
In a profound valley beneath high cliffs,
I sit under the old pine trees.
Zazen in my rustic cottage
Is peaceful, lonely and truly comfortable.
