Formal Meditation (Ryōkan Taigu)

In formal meditation

I sit by the empty window

Nose and Navel

In alignment

Ears and shoulders

Parallel

In formal meditation

I sit by the empty window

Nose and Navel

In alignment

Ears and shoulders

Parallel

Moonlight floods the room

The rain stops and then resumes

Perfect this moment

My understanding deepens

My understanding deepens
