Beyond the wind,
listen to the bamboo.

listen to the bamboo.
~Shibayama Zenkei
"Beyond the wind" generally refers to the realm beyond the illusory, material world, while listening to the bamboo is a reference to the fact that some species of bamboo grow so quickly that if one listens carefully, you can actually hear them growing. ~Enso: Zen Circles of Enlightenment by Audrey Yoshiko Seo
