Looking For a Recluse and Finding Him Gone
Below the pines I ask the boy
he says his master has gone to find herbs
he’s somewhere on this mountain
but the clouds are too thick to know where
– Chia Tao, (799-833)
Bill Porter’s (Red Pine) new book is a meditative tour of the grave sites and homes of China’s greatest poets, another one-of-a-kind journey by America’s most interesting Buddhist scholar and travel writer. It will be published in January 2016.
