| Autumn Moon at Ishiyama Temple (1834) by Utagawa Hiroshige |
Ten thousand flowers in spring, the moon in autumn,
a cool breeze in summer, snow in winter.
If your mind isn’t clouded by unnecessary things,
this is the best season of your life.
(1183-1260) was a Chan master who compiled the koan collection The Gateless Gate.https://tricycle.org/magazine/the-best-season/
