Han Shan's Single Robe

Buddhist Temple of Toledo Podcast · Jul 22, 2009 · 44m

Jay Rinsen Weik gives a talk and leads discussion at the Toledo Zen Center on October 22, 2008.

"Now I have a single robe,

not made of gauze or of figured silk.

Do you ask what color it is?

Not crimson, nor purple either.

Summer days I wear it as a cloak,

in winter it serves for a quilt.

Summer and winter in turn I use it;

year after year, only this."

- Han Shan
