Masaoka Shiki Quotes

“Until now, I had misunderstood the Satori, enlightenment of Zen Buddhism.
I had thought that satori is to die without fear anytime. But it is a wrong guess.
The satori is to live unconcernedly anytime.”

Masaoka Shiki

Jusqu'à maintenant, j'avais mal compris le Satori, ou l'objectif final du bouddhisme zen.
Je pensais que le satori est de mourir sans peur à tout moment. Mais il est fausse supposition.
Le satori est de vivre sereinement en tout temps.
Byōshō-rokushaku
