Breeze Comments

'' yama kara kaze ga fūrin e ikite itai to omou '' '' the breeze from the mountains / in the wind bell / makes me want to live ''

Santōka made the following list, which might be entitled 'My Religion': My Three Precepts: Do not waste anything. Do not get angry. Do not complain. My Three Vows: Do not attempt the impossible. Do not feel regret for the past. Do not berate oneself. My Three Joys: Study. Contemplation. Haiku.
