Poet Park Jin-gwan's 53rd Precept, 32nd. 11. I am going on a journey to the sky of the universe!
I am going on a journey to the sky of the universe!
My absent-minded mind leads me
A night of thinking of the Tathagata and going out with the Tathagata
This is clearly the act of a sleepwalker
Realizing that, I am going out to prose!
I am now driving a fantasy ship
A ship that is going without even knowing where it is going
Who is the heavenly work for? I have to run, I have to go screaming
I don't even know where I'm going
I keep trying to lead my body
I fall and fall and break like a wave
In the waves that are foaming
I want to know that this is the virtue of practice for me
Like my consciousness that is moving
I want to know that this moves my consciousness
No one knows
The place where I live in Namsan protects me
But the steps I take as I walk the path I've passed
are not temporary, but a command that makes my eyes weep
There's something I can't lead myself to
I'm writing this kind of poem in the middle of the night!
I have to find myself while drinking tea!
