2 Poems of Ryokan Taigu

“If someone asks
if Ryokan has a death poem,
just let them know,
‘Namu Amida Butsu.’”

"Talk is always easy
Practice always hard
It’s no wonder people try to make up for
their lack of hard practice with easy talk

But the harder they try, the worse things get
The more they talk, the more wrong they go
It’s like pouring on oil to put out a fire
Just foolishness and nothing else"

Beautiful quote(s)!
I need to have that printed and put on my wall, right above my computer monitor. :)
