Encountering Shih-Tou (2 of 2): The Song of the Grass Roof Hermitage

Jay Rinsen Weik's retreat workshop on The Song of the Grass Roof Hermitage, recorded at the Toledo Zen Center on July 27, 2008.

"I've built a grass roof hut, where there's nothing of value.
After eating, I relax and enjoy a nap.
When it was completed, fresh weeds appeared.
Now it's been lived in - covered by weeds.
The person in the hut lives here calmly,
not stuck to inside, outside, or in between."
-- Shih-T'ou
