Poet Park Jin-gwan's 53 knowledge of knowledge 23. 2. Sparrow mother's self-education method
Sparrow mother's method of educating her children
If you ask who taught
Are you saying it's a heaven-sent education method?
I can't help but ask
Enduring the heat on a summer day
After laying eggs and giving birth to offspring
A sparrow blowing its fur in the wind
Winter learns to live with fur
Sparrows can't lay eggs in winter!
A family of sparrows that know how to wait for egg-laying time
Is there a law that sparrows can't work in summer!
Even sparrows like to raise their young in the fall.
So teach them how to lay eggs and raise young in the summer
It may be that he wants to take the bar exam.
Sparrows may also have a bar exam
Today, bar exams are disappearing.
Through the American-style bar exam called law school
Looking at the reality that is being covered up, even to the sparrows
I can't help but ask if such education is being implemented,
Sparrows educate their chicks. the best place is
An offering made in the temple hall where the Buddha is resting
We are implementing education to appreciate public rice.
Guide the cubs and fly to the courthouse.
Then the bird that just hatched from the egg rubbing its fur
A bird sparrow competes for its mother's flapping of its wings.
So spread your wings and fly in the sky
To the temple where the Buddha rests
Spread your wings and fly away.
There are hands of old women who make rice offerings in the temple hall.
The old men show no resistance to the sparrow family.
As if dancing while looking at you
Sparrow families fly around the temple.
The monks holding a Buddhist ball smile at each other
I'm just wishing
In the field where lotuses bloom, lotuses bloom
We're whispering as we face each other
The sparrows spread their wings and fly and sit on the lotus flower.
In the lotus honey, I call the wind that blows in the wind
The wind is soothing the sparrow family
Summon the wind that carries food.
Become a bird that calls for the wind
The wind does not educate the sparrow to die.
Families of sparrows gather in forested places
I'm singing, but listening to the sound of the wind
Families of sparrows go out in search of a place to eat.
A world where there are people who don't eat breakfast
We meet people dying on the battlefield.
Sparrow families dying in the trenches
Can't eat grain from across the sea
It is said that even the sparrow family cannot eat it.
Does the grain you eat smell like gunpowder?
Sparrow families are not educated.
For food, the mother bird gathers her young,
Practice getting the pup to open its mouth.
The mother makes her mouth wide open, but with practice
The calf throws her mouth away while looking at the shape of her mother's mouth
When the mother bird kisses her, the practice is over.
When the practice is over, the mother bird is in the temple hall
She spreads her wings toward the offering rice.
The baby bird also goes inside the sanctuary.
In the temple hall, an elderly monk chanted
Welcome and congratulate the sparrow family.
I wish you to safely endure the summer days.
Buddha looked at the sparrow family
Don't die on a summer's day, endure it.
