slay the buddha

Whatever you encounter,
either within or without,
slay it at once:
on meeting a buddha
slay the buddha
~Linji

I meet the Buddha everywhere
in the solemnity of sangha ritual
in my own sitting reverent
in my feigned humility before my teacher
in my desiring heart’s desire
craving, thirsting Buddha everywhere
Buddha!
God, Father, Robber on the road
You drop me to my knees
fearful and trembling
Now that I’ve raised You up
I’ll spit on you
“Buddha is a shit stick”
“Kill the Buddha”

Say NO to Buddha

That's what the masters say
