I inscribed words on a little pebble,
The pebble said, “Please don’t scribble.”
`.
I told the pebble,
“I am injecting the mind of Buddha.”
.
Little Pebble said,
“I do not want the mind of Buddha.”
.
I asked,
“What mind, then, do you want?”
.
“I have no mind.”
Little Pebble answered.
.
“Since you have no mind,
Why not having the mind of Buddha?”
.
“Buddha mind helps all sentient beings,
Turning their mind into no-mind”, I continued.
.
Silently, Little Pebble consented.
Silently, I thanked Little Pebble with a salute…
