Living Zen Life

My zen is simple
just sitting zen
in my home
no expectation
no judgment

my zen is old zen
not as monk
not separate 
hermitage zen
world passing by

my zen is sangha
two three many
sit alone
with others
all the same

zen as it has been
facing a wall
thoughts come
thoughts go
silence

my zen is simple
helps me
calms anxiety
since a child
biting my nails

my zen is child
become old
changed yes no
just myself
young or old the same 

Korin Etsudo zen
ancient forest
joyful path
hear my name called
Korin! Joyful!

zen of morning
springtime
I hear birds
see them fly
dharma life

my zen is simple
sit morning
sit evening
be at ease
let it all go
