Knowledge of the 53 lines as seen by poet Jin-Gwan Park 25, 28. Life of a folk poet
People for practitioners
The life of the people is so hard
There is a legend that he was originally the number one poor man.
Look at the life in which the lights of the poor are extinguished.
The link of fate created in the past life is a great ascetic.
Although he also played the role of a wandering poet in the streets,
The name of the wandering poet on the streets is the people's poet.
A high monk who is given the title of 7 martial arts to his practitioners.
Unable to find a place to live for himself
He believes that the best ideal is to present oneself as an independent person.
I preached to sentient beings with the cries of a wise man.
I don't know what's left behind!
No matter how rich or poor is the best practice,
I need to know what tasks need to be implemented.
What is it that cannot continue the traces of life?
A monk kicked out of a temple during a winter snowstorm
The situation of being driven out by the tyranny of the abbot
Let's consider these actions.
what made this happen
Clearly what to do with nature
A practitioner who has become a slave to nature
The body of the practitioner is suffering,
No matter how poor you are, you have to live
Even if it is a hermitage where a monk must live,
After all these years, I feel that way
To explore ideas that should be passed on to future generations
In that sense, what is the practice for younger students?
It shows that it can't play any role.
Even if I practice naked in the snow,
It can be seen that the opinions of practitioners are clearly stated.
If you reflect on what the purpose of your practice is
Still, I need to prepare a tree house to live in.
If there is no tree house to stay in, birds won't fly.
The word desert after the birds have flown away
Let's consider what to do in the desert
Still returning to nothingness in practice
It is labor that cannot exist without anything.
I don't know if it's done in the name of labor.
I don't know the truth about the value of labor
What does it mean to be kicked out on a snowy day?
If there are people who tell me to leave the room
Only to those who inherit what was given to the tenant
The life of the poor who live off the songs of the rich is a contrast.
The life of the poor is not a virtue to practice.
Ah, the song of life given to me
He is a poet who rebels against tomorrow.
