Ten Thousand Flowers in Spring

English version by Stephen Mitchell

Original Language Chinese by Wumen Huikai

Ten thousand flowers in spring,

The moon in autumn,

A cool breeze in summer,

Snow in winter.

If your mind is not clouded

By unnecessary things,

This is the best season of your life.

無門慧開 (1183~1260)

夏有凉風冬有雪

若無閑事掛心頭

便是人間好時節
