Pilgrimage - Haiku - October 25, 2014


"Wherever this sutra circulates or wherever there are sentient beings who hold fast to the name of the Medicine Buddha [Yakushi Buddha] and respectfully make offerings to him, whether in villages, towns, kingdoms or in the wilderness, we [the Twelve Generals] will all protect them. We will release them from all suffering and calamities and see to it that all their wishes are fulfilled." (Source: Wikipedia)


 
in a sea of sand
silent waves and islands
serenity

healing souls
in the temple's silence
Kobo Daishi

raking the sand
in deep contemplation
ah - a sparrow lands
