The season of ten thousand flowers

The season of ten thousand flowers has surely begun! More to follow…

Ten thousand flowers in spring, the moon in autumn,

a cool breeze in summer, snow in winter.

If your mind isn’t clouded by unnecessary things,

this is the best season of your life.

    It is a poem written by a Chinese monk by the name Wumen, sometimes written as Wu Men (Hui-k’ai). You can find books on Amazon, at least one called – The Enlightened Heart: An Anthology of Sacred Poetry (St. Mitchell translation).
