Park Jin-gwan Poet Seen 53 Seon knowledge 20th. 28, “sleepless” night
A sleepless night
The “sleepless” night is a “cruel” night
It was said to the Zen masters that they were “sleep”.
That the sleepless nights become magoons
Hey, I didn't know, did you know?
The past years as an ascetic
He even had a valor
If you look at the wall and stay there, you can realize something.
Even if it sounds like a flute, it blows
Breaking down the wall and breaking through the dreary window
Beating and grinding is a jar to hold, even if it is moonlight.
Kaolin was excavated in the Geumgwan and Gaya areas
create hangli hangri in the air
The sky, drums, and we will be in samadhi
I didn’t even know that March was going, the night was deep
Do you know the reason why you need to sleep?
At the corner of the street where the night is deepening, there is a hen that cries from afar
I'm crying while holding the flagpole
Even on the day when I was a motherfucker, I didn’t “cry”
Oesamchundo = Tayangsali = Night of Singing
That “night” is “thinking”
Those who waited for the night to come
There were old “monks”
Served as the head of the Haeinsa Chongrim
While “guiding” the masters,
3,000 fold to those who come to see him
The night when I was forced to do it in front of the Buddha.
On that day, however sleep
The day that was pouring like stars in the sky
That day, even now, cannot be forgotten
On that day, “Before I Remember”, “Donghwasa”, Samseonwon
I participated in a group that professed valor.
On that day, a day two hours sleep
Go into a room where you are diligent, and sit down.
When you are there, you might be able to sleep
I couldn't even sit down for an hour.
I have been practicing such time for 100 days.
When you enter the bathroom, the toilet is like a master bedroom.
It was warm like the floor of a room.
So, I set out to find the sleeping waking inseung
It was a “toilet” room where you could “sleep”
A smelly body that sleep in the bathroom
For a monk, sleep was a dream
I have to fight with the horse.
come to your senses
It stops, but there is
The basket is every number
Sleeping is impossible, but sleep is coming.
The sami’s play that sleep in the attic
Even after the years have passed, I remember, my heart
This is the moment that makes me “record”
At night, the demon that is holding you
I have to “drive out” the devil
I need to sleep, but I can't sleep at night
What has been given to me
What is it that wakes me up?
Zen monks called “masters” in Incheon
They put stones on their backs to keep them from sleeping at night.
It is a lie to say that you “walked” at night.
To me, even if I do not do “such”
I can't sleep, and I'm there.
Now, this “moment,” the time is beyond “night,” ten, and two o’clock
The world is just quiet
The night is “embracing me” and going to “where”
Inwangsan = rock = area = flowing = water
Do you want to drink water? Do you want to drink water?
Even if the “road” to go is “difficult”, “I” must go
No I must diligence
Time to make “effort” to “find” me
At this moment, the day I have to find something
On that day, I carrying myself flowing water to Seocheon
He becomes a “bull” dressed in “black” who “drinks” clear “water.”
Even if I close my eyes, I remember
During Zen meditation, use an awl to keep your eyes from closing.
I remember the days when I was sitting
Make a plate with an awl in the head, and set it up
The things that “hurt” the head have no “meaning”
It is not a body that refuses to sleep
It is a night that does not come even if I try to sleep.
While holding me “like this” while stopping
Because I am creating a long poem
I hear a “rooster crowing” somewhere “crying”
Even if the chicken crows, useless body
I must have “transcended” me
Oh, even if I don’t make the “effort” of discovering the “self”
To me, “enlightenment” is “appearing” in front of your eyes.
Even if you only see me “from sleep” and away from me, “me” is diligent
Politics “given” to me is “awakening” my “children” and friends.
My way to “sleep” is to become a “star” in the sky.
A Bodhisattva who “asks for sleep” “makes” “me” who “does” Zen meditation.
My “practice” is to “become” practice by “zazen” practice.
