Distractions
Clad in black robe,
I should have no attraction to
the shapes and scents of this world
but how can I keep the precept of detachment
gazing at today’s crimson maple leaves?
Otagaki Rengetsu (1791–1875)
Grr. Curiosity about Japanese Buddhist nuns and their training.... but I have too much academic work to do.
