A Wayfarer • Te of Tao
For they were Buddhas now, who resided in the Land of Bliss.
Julie Otsuka • The Buddha in the Attic
An old man, I want only peace. The things of this world mean nothing. I know no good way to live and I can’t stop getting lost in my thoughts, my ancient forests. The wind that waves the pines loosens my belt.

Laozi • Laozi's Dao De Jing
Chapter 23 Meditation on death
