Shih Shu China (1660? - 1740?) Timeline Buddhist : Zen / Chan Poems by Shih Shu Books - Links |
In the early 1700s, one poet took the widely used term as a nom de plume, making it difficult to know much about the author... other than through the poems themselves.
Poems by Shih Shu
- against the gently flowing spring morning
- as flowing waters disappear into the mist
- Emptiness is a long story
- mountain sounds carry a chill wisdom
- "nothing to do; nothing to lose"
