擁篲不除塵 看経不解義 非是狂与愚 必大行大智
They do not sweep the dust with a broom, they do not look at the scriptures and understand the doctrines. This is neither madness nor folly. It is an excellent method of practice and should lead to great wisdom.

寒山拾得 Kanzan and Jittoku
Two legendary poet-monks of Tang Dynasty, China. They are said to be the reincarnations of Wenshu Bosatsu (Monju Bosatsu) and Fugen Bosatsu (Fugen Bosatsu). Both of them are said to have had many eccentricities and to have written many poems. They are often depicted as the subject of Zen paintings, with Kanzan opening a sutra scroll and Jittoku holding a broom.
