Santoka Taneda Quotes and Poems:
"Do
not be attached to
the past or wait for the future. Be grateful for each day, that is
enough. I do not believe in a future world, I deny the past. I believe
entirely in the present. Employ your entire body and mind in the
eternal now."-Santoka Taneda
"Too
much contact with
people brings conflict, hatred, and attachment. To rid myself of inner
conflicts and hatred, I must walk."-Santoka Taneda
"One
breath, one step, one verse."-Santoka Taneda
"How
can you be a beggar if you have extra money?"-Santoka Taneda
"One
room, one person, one light, one desk, one bath, and one cup of sake."-Santoka Taneda
"My
life has been a continuous waste. I pour sake. Out of it are born my
haiku."-Santoka Taneda
"Haiku
is not a shriek, a howl, a sigh, or a yawn; rather, it is the deep
breath of life."-Santoka Taneda
Santoka
Teneda Haiku:
Oh
cricket!
There
is enough rice, at least
for
tomorrow
Wet
with morning dew
I
go in the direction I want
There
is nothing I can do;
I
walk on and on
Hidden
away in
A
broken down hut,
My
broken down life
These
few ashes
Are
all that remain
Of
my diary
Today,
still alive;
I
stretch out my feet
Birds
in the rain-
They
have nothing to eat
Soaking
wet-
I
can’t read the letters
On
the sign post
Pricks
and pussies
Bowling
together
In
the overcrowded bath
The
evening shower clears up;
I
go into the tomato field to eat
That
was my face
In
the cold mirror
Sitting
alone
Silently,
in the mosquito net,
Eating
my rice
Alone
on New Year’s Day-
There
is mochi and sake
And
. . .
Baggage
I cannot throw off,
So
heavy front and back
