I'd like to divide myself in order to see, among these mountains, each and every flower of every cherry tree.

Today's satori:
Such a change of mind would
Not exist without
My lifelong habit of having
My mind immersed in blossoms.

Limitations gone: Since my mind fixed on the moon, Clarity and serenity Make something for which There's no end in sight.

This place of mine never is entered by humans come for conversation, only by the mute moon's light shafts that slip in between the trees.

Returning to where
It used to see blossoms,
My mind, changed,
Will stay on at Yoshino ...
Home now, and see anew.

Every single thing changes and is changing always in this world. Yet with the same light the moon goes on shining.

The cherries' only fault: the crowds that gather when they bloom

The mind for truth
Begins, like a stream, shallow
At first, but then
Adds more and more depth
While gaining greater clarity.

Beyond this life and
This world I'll have it til
My heart's content:
The bright moon that passed over
The horizon before I had my fill.

Whatever it is, / I cannot understand it, / although gratitude / stubbornly overcomes me / until I'm reduced to tears.
