If You Want To Be a Zen Master

IF YOU WANT TO BE A ZEN MASTER

If you want to be
a Zen Master to live
the Tao follow a cow.
When cow is hungry
it munches grass no matter
green or dry as hay. When
thirsty the cow drinks, when
tired the cow lays down
taking a break to meditate,
standing stares at the field
as blank as if the world
of words didn't exist. All
just is as it is and that
is Zen with nothing to call
at all. Only moo is cow.
