My First Kyoto Visit

Muso Soseki wrote this poem:

Wandering
A runaway son
will never own savings
throughout his life
My treasure
is the cloud on the peak
the moon over the valley
Travelling east or west
light and free
on the one road
I don't know whether 
I'm on the way 
or at home


This week I spent three memorable days in Kyoto.   Here are some of the places where I was able to sit zazen at these locations:

Tenryu-ji (this garden was actually designed by Muso Soseki.


Nanzenji


Eikando





Shosendo
