He sat alone in contemplation,
Locked in thought; in meditation,
Beyond what is and what once was, and what shall never be,
Is for what he searched in solitude, for where the gods can only see,
Then one day he yelled Eureka,
I have found of what I seeka,
The truth at last he told his wife,
I have found the point of life!
"You are born with baby's cry,
Zen you live, and Zen you die."

A bath when you’re born,
a bath when you die,
how stupid
