Having been intentionally uncharitable yesterday towards Hyesim (aka Muuija), 10th century Korean Seon Master, I'll offer two of his poems that I liked as a companion post:
A Warning Against Skill
The inaction of great integrity surpasses skills,
No need for cleverness or learning many skills.
Those who have skills are often employed by those who have none,
One should trust those with no skills to vanquish those who have
For the Gardener Who Requested a Verse
I heard of a monk who struck a clod of earth,
And all at once destroyed the three thousand worlds.
As surely as you can use a hoe,
You will as easily become enlightened.
For my discussion of whether he endorsed huatou meditation, and my opinion of whether that's a problem, see here.
