A bika terelése – A bika befogása

Lélek és test minden ereje kell a befogásához.
Akaratos, hatalmas ereje végtelen.
Néha a fennsík felé tör,
vissza a felhő és köd mélyére.

竭尽精神获得渠
心强力壮卒难除
有时才到高原上
又入烟云深处居

With all my energy,
I seize the ox.
His will is strong, and his power endless,
and he cannot be tamed easily.
Sometimes he charges
to the high plateau.
And there he stays,
deep in the mist.
(ford. Gen Sakamoto)

I seize him with a terrific struggle.
His great will and power are inexhaustible.
He charges to the high plateau far above the cloud-mists,
Or in an impenetrable ravine he stands.
(ford. Nyogen Senzaki és Paul Reps – Zen Flesh, Zen Bones)
