Some old papers were recently excavated
from the ruins of an ancient city
in eastern Turkestan.
The scholars say that they contain
the thought of the Bodhidharma,
and they have been busy turning out commentaries,
both in the horizontal writing of the West
and the vertical lines of the Orient.
Some imitate his zazen and gaze at the wall
until the sun goes down.
Hey--you are all wrong!
