Shodoka: Song of Enlightenment (Abridged) - Yoka Daishi - Zen Buddhism

This is the abridged version of Shodoka - Song of Awakening or Enlightenment. (I will upload the complete/longer one soon). This is one of the four essential Zen texts. It was written by Yoka Daishi in the seventh century in China. It is a testimony to his awakening; his writing and spiritual approach is simple in style. The Shodoka has been nicknamed “the Mahayana sutra that solves all problems.”
