Kategori: Anatta
'The japanese Kûkai is not known for his talents, and his words and actions are nothing to speak of. Sleeping in the snow with only his arms to pillow his head, and eating wild plants on the cloudy peaks - that is all he knows.'
The imperial councillor Yoshimine writes : "The master has entered the cold and uncomfortable mountain of Köya, and has perhaps forgotten to return to the capital. What pleasure can there be in the mountains?' In reply, Kûkai wrote:
A cupful of mountain river water in the morning sustains my life. The evening mist nurtures my mind. The dawn moon and the morning wind wash away all impurities.'"
