Zen Poem: Becoming a Master

I read this Zen poem today.

Just wanted to share.

To follow the path:
look to the master,
follow the master,
walk with the master,
see through the master,
become the master.

Your Zen poem tells how important the one who already know the dharma/religion.
And without the master can the learner does by himself?😂

I agree totally.

If I look at myself, I'm so glad I somehow met the teachings of Krishna, Gautama and Jesus.

Yeah, regarding the path, from apprentice to master; definitely development.

I like this Serrao.

Like stepping stones through the maze of self mastery.
