Best 5 quotes of Ryokan on MyQuotes

In this world of dreams, drifting off still more; and once again speaking and dreaming of dreams. Just let it be.

Someday I'll be a weather-beaten skull resting on a grass pillow, Serenaded by a stray bird or two. Kings and commoners end up the same, No more enduring than last night's dream.

The plants and flowers I raised about my hut I now surrender To the will Of the wind

Too lazy to be ambitious, I let the world take care of itself. Ten days' worth of rice in my bag; a bundle of twigs by the fireplace. Why chatter about delusion and enlightenment? Listening to the night rain on my roof, I sit comfortably, with both legs stretched out.

Why do you so earnestly seek the truth in distant places? Look for delusion and truth in the bottom of your own heart.
