Koan

From UoWiki

Action is transitory - a step, a blow -
The motion of a muscle, this way or that.
'Tis done, and the after-vacancy
We wonder at ourselves like men betrayed:
Suffering is permanent, obscure and dark,
And shares the nature of infinity.

It is like a finger pointing away to the moon:
Don't concentrate on the finger
Or you will miss all that heavenly glory.
