Thich Nhat Hanh

Onderstaand gedicht is van de Zen Meester Thich Nhat Hanh. Recentelijk overleden. Of overgegaan.

• This body is not me
  
  I am not limited by this body.
  I am life without boundaries.
  I have never been born,
  and I shall never die.
  Look at the ocean and the sky filled with stars,
  manifestations from my wondrous true mind.
  Since before time, I have been free.
  Birth and death are only doors through which we pass,
  sacred thresholds on our journey.
  Birth and death are a game of hide-and-seek.
  So laugh with me,
  hold my hand,
  let us say good-bye,
  say good-bye, to meet again soon.
  We meet today.
  We will meet again tomorrow.
  We will meet at the source every moment.
  We meet each other in all forms of life.
