    "Peaceful Life" by Dainin Katagiri Roshi

    Being told that it is impossible
    One believes, in despair, "Is that so?"
    Being told that it is possible,
    One believes, in excitement, "That's right."
    But, whichever is chosen,
    It does not fit one's heart neatly.
    Being asked, "What is unfitting?"
    I don't know what it is.
    But my heart knows somehow.
    I feel irrestistible desire to know.
    What a mystery a "human" is!
    As to this mystery:
    Clarifying,
    Knowing how to live,
    Knowing how to talk with people,
    Demonstrating and teaching,
    This is the Buddha.
    From my human eyes,
    I feel it's really impossible to become Buddha.
    But this "I", regarding what the Buddha does,
    Vows to practice,
    To aspire,
    To be resolute,
    And tells myself, "Yes, I will."
    Just practice right here now,
    And achieve continuity,
    Endlessly,
    Forever.
    This is living in vow.
    Herein is one's peaceful life found.
