Chinese poetry

I met with a friend last night and talked about our interest in Chinese philosophies.. and how ignorant we are today about it. So I decided to venture more into the mysterious world of chinese philosophy. Here's one I found today that spoke to me. 9th century Chinese zen master.

Long seeking it through others,
I was far from reaching it.
Now I go by myself;
I meet it everywhere.
It is just I myself,
And I am not itself.
Understanding this way,
I can be as I am.

- Tung-Shan (806-869)
