When talking to a group of children, the poet monk Ryoukan told them that in this world, there is a strong wind that is flowing through us all in its many temperments. Ryoukan's lesson to the children before him was that life take us in many different directions, and somestimes we just need to let ourselves go with the flow.

良寛が子供たちに頼まれて凧に書いた言葉が「天上大風」私たちの生きるこの世の上の天上には大きな風が流れている

その風の流れに身を任せなさい、という仏教の教えを良寛は説いていたのか
