Step by Step in the Dark (MK72)
KOAN:
Step by step in the dark
If my foot’s not wet,
I found the stone
– PZI Miscellaneous Koans, Case 72 (Soyen Shaku)
I vow to wake all the beings of the world,
I vow to set endless heartache to rest,
I vow to walk though every wisdom gate,
I vow to live the great Buddha Way.
