HAIKU: Zen Poems to Leave you Breathless

Haiku expresses deep meaning in few words. It represents the ultimate refinement of a long tradition of eastern literature which derives its inspiration from a type of Buddhism known as Zen. Haiku poetry excels in one of the rarest of artistic virtues – the virtue of knowing when to stop; of knowing when enough has been said. Zen uncovers this virtue as not just the secret of art but of life itself. - Haikus by Various Zen Monks Read by Hiro Finn Hoshino Sources of Wisdom: Japanese Death Poems: Written by Zen Monks and Haiku Poets on the Verge of Death One hundred Famous Haiku by Daniel C.
