"Tu as parcouru dix mille marches à la recherche du dharma.
Tant de jours sans fin à copier les sûtras dans la bibliothèque, à copier, à copier.
La gravité des Tang et la profondeur des Sung sont un lourd bagage.
Pour toi j'ai cueilli quelques fleurs sauvages.
Leur sens est identique, mais elles sont beaucoup plus légères."

"Mahamudra", Kenneth White
As soon as the conscience
is rid of its covering
it stands out naked
and energy shows its essence
the lotus and the lightning
just as salt is dissolved in water
so the mind that takes its woman
in the arms of the knowledge-girl
earth water fire wind
and space too - honour them
so he comes into relation
with every kind of creature
and knows the path of freedom.
Kenneth White, éditions Mercure de France, 1987, 1999.
