Rinzai (Lin-chi)

Gubutsu-an


The poem by Hakuin in the painting says:

Raising a single drop from the heavenly source, he casts it down,
Producing grief and pain deep within the mountains of Iiyama;
Weary of thinking up phrases [koans] for his followers,
He stops giving them, binding up his enemies.
