The Way of the White Couds

Buddha is reported to have said:

‘Just like a white cloud disappearing’.

A white cloud is a mystery—
the coming, the going, the very being of it.

A white cloud exists without any roots—
it is an unrooted phenomenon, grounded nowhere,
or grounded in the nowhere.
But it still exists.
A white cloud really has no way of his own.
It drifts. It has nowhere to reach, no destination,
no destiny to be fulfilled, no end.
You cannot frustrate a white cloud

because wherever it reaches is the goal.
Enlightened One's come and go,

just like white clouds in the blue sky,

without leaving a trace.

Peace
