Antaiji’s garden, Muho sitting in Osaka and giving talks in English and Japanese, September 22nd through October 7th2019
From our mountain fields, millet harvested for our meal,
From our garden, plain yellow leeks;
Whether you eat from what there is to eat is up to you,
And if you choose not to eat thereof, feel free to go where you will.
I pray that, on reflection, each of you, my companions on the Path, will practice diligently. Take good care of yourselves!
Sekisō built a Hall for Withered Trees where he and his community did their sitting and lying down, only requiring of his monks that their hearts and minds completely quiet down.

Sekisō established a withered trees hall where he sat and slept with the monks, wanting only to master his own mind.
