Master Izi

Who is Master Izi of Dailin Nur Institute
nobody ask this question before. He is good friend
of Dr.Anqaravi, dedicated reseacher of Rumi and Zen.
Here are my fellow student Zuigan description:

A man whose life is
like a wind blown piece of leaf
ardent composer of sufic kyoku.
Bitter severity, the angry face,
with a broadly relaxing air of tenderness.

The compassionate heart with
frosty wintriness of
an unbending spirit.

Wherever there is a stream of wisdom
and cool mountains of remembrance
there is my friend wayfarers tea hut
for meditation and muzakarah of intellects

But what I like is where
the Bamboos of illumination is thick,
surrounded by majestic clouds
gathering the rains for thirsty travelers
before Winter snow cover up the Way up

One word that bring joys
And another word that blinds
Be careful and stay close hsiao xin
to your teacher or guide
With the samurai sword
and code of honor drawn
