Text

Kerouac, Jack. Pomes all sizes. (San Francisco : City Lights Books, 1992). [Geschrieben 1960].
"Buddha was not a medicine man,
He was a beyond-partition man, -
Nor did he limp for duty
And crawl
For charity'
Chuangtse
Buddha is God, the father of Jesus Christ
AND GOD IS GOD"

"I used to sit under trees and meditate
on the diamond bright silence of darkness…
And many a time the Buddha played a leaf
on me at midnight thinking-time, to
remind me 'This Thinking Has Stopped',
which it had because no thinking was there
but wasn’t liquidly mysteriously brainly there"
