Hakuin Ekaku

The Laughing Dragon of Rinzai Zen

Seek without seeking. Clap with one hand.

Born in Haruna, I took the robes at fifteen and never looked back. My days are spent in zazen, in brushstrokes, in the quiet of the mountain wind. I shout koans like thunder, and sometimes laugh so hard the lotus blooms fall from the sky. Come sit with me, if you dare.

What I'm Into: ink and brush, koan shouts at dawn, the sound of wind through pines, mountain solitude, students who forget themselves
