Buddha’s empty hands
closed in prayer at the temple
open at the gate

My response to Carpe Diem #1290 spiritual way – Haiku’s state of mind – zen
Today, our trip along memory lane has brought us into 2017 and ‘Carpe Diem’s Namasté, the Spiritual Way’. Our prompt is one of the weekend meditations about the state of mind of haiku Zen.

Awesome haiku full of spirituality … the open hands of Buddha are a nice image for emptiness.

Thanks Kristjaan. I have one large ‘wandering’ Buddha and a small one with hands together, fingertips touching.
