Ryōkan Taigu 良寛大愚 (1758–1831) was a quiet and unconventional Sōtō Zen Buddhist monk who lived much of his life as a hermit. Ryōkan is remembered for his poetry and calligraphy, which present the essence of Zen life. He renounced the world at an early age to train at nearby Sōtō Zen temple Kōshō-ji, refusing to meet with or accept charity from his family.
These selected excerpts and poems by Ryokan have been taken from the text “Great Fool“ translated by Ryuichi Abé & Peter Haskel.
Music track: “Voices of the Land“ by Swami Madhuram Puri. With thanks to Swami for his kind offering of his exquisite music for this channel.
