Buddha's Zen
Buddha said: "I consider the positions of kings and rulers as that of dust motes. I observe treasures of gold and gems as so many bricks and pebbles. I look upon the finest silken robes as tattered rags. I see myriad worlds of the universe as small seeds of fruitand the greatest lake in India as a drop of oil on my foot. I perceive the teachings of the world to be the illusion of magicians. I discern the highest conception of emancipation as a golden brocade in a dreamand view the holy path of the illuminated ones as flowers appearing in one's eyes. I see meditation as a pillar of a mountainNirvana as a nightmare of daytime. I look upon the judgment of right and wrong as the serpentine dance of a dragonand the rise and fall of beliefs as but traces left by the four seasons."
