Shiwu, also called Stonehouse (1272–1352 CE) was a Chinese Chan Buddhist monk and hermit who lived during the Yuan dynasty.
This body’s lifetime is like a bubble’s
may as well let things go
plans and events seldom agree
who can step back doesn’t worry
we blossom and fade like flowers
we gather and part like clouds
earthly thoughts I forgot long ago
withering away on a mountain peak
