Religious Matters
Buddhadasa Bhikkhu
Brother, what sort of religion do you teach?
Who told you that I’ve got religion?
Brother, you teach us just like a prophet?
That’s what you say, you lousy gangster!
The words “No Religion” confuse me!
Just study the law of nature, that’s enough!
But isn’t that religion, or what is it?
Just see nature and it takes care of the rest!
What’s the reason, then, for not calling it religion?
It’s only ordinariness, naturally, nothing more!
Where, then, is religion?
Gangs of noisy authorities stuffing people’s heads!
