Onomatopoeia is the presentation of an action by its sound, or at least that is its definition in literary criticism. The poet may prefer to say that he became intimate with that sound. Thus the parody by Gibon Sengai is very instructive:<BR/><BR/>The old pond!<BR/>Bashô jumps in,<BR/>The sound of the water!<BR/><BR/>Hsiang-yen Chih-hsien became profoundly attuned to a sound while cleaning the grave of the Imperial Tutor, Nan-yang Hui-chung. His broom caught a little stone that sailed through the air and hit a stalk of bamboo. Tock! He had been working on the kôan “My original face before my parents were born,” and with that sound his body and mind fell away completely. There was only that tock. Of course, Hsiang-yen was ready for this experience. He was deep in the samadhi of sweeping leaves and twigs from the grave of an old master, just as Bashô is lost in the samadhi of an old pond, and just as the Buddha was deep in the samadhi of the great ocean.<BR/><BR/>Samadhi means “absorption,” but fundamentally it is unity with the whole universe. When you devote yourself to what you are doing, moment by moment — to your kôan when on your cushion in zazen, to your work, study, conversation, or whatever in daily life — that is samadhi. Do not suppose that samadhi is exclusively Zen Buddhist. Everything and everybody are in samadhi, even bugs, even people in mental hospitals."<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://www.bopsecrets.org/gateway/passages/basho-frog.htm" REL="nofollow">frg pnd plp</A><BR/><BR/>- - - - - - - - - -troylloydhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14706450196335510065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-598855261912396057.post-70249484056251909782008-10-07T05:38:00.000-04:002008-10-07T05:38:00.000-04:00lock knobs- a phallic sword fight?lock knobs- a phallic sword fight?mike di tomassohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15593531523040167578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-598855261912396057.post-78692451573135207452008-10-06T19:32:00.000-04:002008-10-06T19:32:00.000-04:00F P P,lock knobs,contrastfiction function& sta...F P P,<BR/><BR/>lock knobs,<BR/>contrast<BR/>fiction function<BR/>& static facts<BR/>stitch'd in fibrils,<BR/>miss'd histories<BR/>more permanent<BR/>than pulp possible:<BR/>plus,<BR/>nobody gives a fuck<BR/>'bout frog pond nomore,<BR/>tho plop still matters:<BR/>immersion.<BR/><BR/>(emergent human nature)<BR/><BR/>the biggest worlds<BR/><BR/>clear glitterati<BR/>dangle dangle<BR/><BR/>angle angle<BR/><BR/>perfct.<BR/><BR/>(rbbt)<BR/>- - - - -Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
