RyokanPast has passed away.
Future has not arrived.
Present does not remain.
Nothing is reliable; everything must change
You hold onto letters and names in vain,
Forcing yourself to believe in them.
Stop chasing new knowledge.
Leave old views behind.
Study the essential
And then see through it.
When there is nothing left to see through,
Then you will know your mistaken views.
