Poet Park Jin-gwan's 53 Prophet's Knowledge 31st 48. Paulownia leaves blow in the wind
Paulownia leaves blow in the wind!
Time has already come to the threshold of winter
Paulownia leaves that boasted their vibrant green
Winds away in the indifferent wind
They say that time is truly meaningless
They ask about the past summer, but the hot earth
The burning summer has also passed for a moment
Do you know what the original role of paulownia leaves is?
Paulownia leaves are the time to call themselves
Paulownia trees are supposed to be hollow,
But if they are not hollow, they cannot make a geomungo
For me, summer is a joyful season
But now when paulownia leaves fall in the wind
Leaving only a meaningless appearance in the empty space
The wind also shakes the paulownia tree indifferently
And drops the leaves hanging from its tip. The paulownia tree revealed as a bare body
A disease that is like a fate that makes me shiver in the cold when winter comes
For me, they are those who, while showing affection for the Sangha,
perpetrated a battle among the monks and seized power,
and were treated differently by those on the opposing side
In order to return them to normal
While touring the enemy country and collecting signatures from high monks
I got into a car accident and my head was smashed by the front door of a car
Dizziness that comes to me when winter comes
That disease is taking over me in a lump!
Now, when I see the paulownia tree blowing in the wind
Looking like a naked body
I am really trying to find myself
And yesterday, I chanted the Bhaisajyaguru Buddha
And I have a mind to rely on the Bhaisajyaguru Buddha!
If you take medicine, the disease will go away easily, but I heard the words of Monk Beomsang, who said not to rely on the station,
and eating salt actively protects me,
and it seems to wake me up from sleep,
and I try to remember the preciousness in my life.
The one who hears the sound of the paulownia leaves falling,
who is it?
But still, the paulownia leaves are blown by the wind,
and fall to the ground and roll around,
and I don't know where they will go,
but as if I am listening to the sound of blood flowing,
I am listening to the sound of my heart beating.
If the paulownia tree also feels impermanence,
then the paulownia tree must also be conscious,
but they say that they are microorganisms without consciousness.
They say that they have made nature their friend,
but nature is conquering humans.
