A Remote Holy Man

Today, as a single day

A single day, this today.

Have seen the Sun rising

Had seen the Sun set.

Nothing to see any more

Dayflies swan dead after hatch.

The time passed already for past away

However I am still alive

One day of some days, even not seems to be lived.

Even though being lived for a millennium

A holy man

Remote dayflies swan.

religious poetry, which is extremely terse, and in which grammatical

they express their state of attainment.

THE FIRST CHAPTER

SEON(ZEN) MIND ODE

SPEECHLESS SPEECH 1

The funeral day of Old man kim,
Eosungjeon's

4

potte at Gangwon province

There was said that there was neither funeral ceremony
nor Mourners.
Only his wife who died thirty years ago wept over
being untied her hair in grabbing hard the bier
"listen, listen, give me, give me anger what likes flames
and go"
There was rumor that Old man Kim answered,
"I have made my anger of pottery, pottery all"
As matter of fact,
Two pallbearers the very day were sound.

SPEECHLESS SPEECH 2

An old fisherman at Daepo

5

in the east coast

When he goes to sea then he becomes sea
When he goes to temple then he becomes temple
His life where to go
Said to be wave.

SPEECHLESS SPEECH 3

Do not say good
Thousand Buddha's cave valley of Mt. outer Serak

6

Lying down on a rock crag
look up at the sky

Thing listening to water sound
Which is flowing under the rock......,

4) Eosungjeon is name of place where is located Yangyang city.
5) Daepo is a fishing village where is located in Sokcho city in Gangwondo

province.

SPEECHLESS SPEECH 4

who does draw the wall paintings
on the no saying shrine hall?

A stork biting
a blind a carp

Waiting for the painter
Twisting carp's neck.

SPEECHLESS SPEECH 5

A seon

7

monk came to see me the second day of the last

month
Asking me the meaning of the Bodhidharma

8

comes to

the East
I said that there were many rocks at the Baekdam

9

valley

of Mt. Inner Seorak.

7) Seon means Zen in korean pronunciation.
8) Bodhidharma (c. early fifth century CE) was the Buddhist monk tradi-

tionally credited as the transmitter of Chán to China. Very little contem-
porary biographical information on Bodhidharma is extant, and subse-
quent accounts became layered with legend, but most accounts agree
that he was either a South Indian or Persian monk who journeyed to
southern China and subsequently relocated northwards. The accounts
differ on the date of his arrival, with one early account claiming that he
arrived during the Liú Sòng Dynasty (420-479) and later accounts dat-
ing his arrival to the Liáng Dynasty (502-557). Bodhidharma was pri-
marily active in the lands of the Northern Wèi Dynasty (386-534).
Modern scholarship dates him about the early fifth century.

9) This valley is one of the largest valley in korea and there is Baekdamsa

temple where Master Oh-hyun mainly has lived since several decades
ago.

SPEECHLESS SPEECH 6

Our temple heavy-duty farm hand
Working at ridge between rice fields

Master! master! people say that they
hear ditch water sound
from my body
Life is like a reel paddy field
Thirsting is endless.

DUST DIFFERENCE

Mixed various things
In barley's beard

Pound delusion
Treadmill of every day

Life is a piece of straw
which never goes out even though blowing and blowing.

A thought what is a millionaire
Be beardless even if gathering all

blasted ears, wheat empty heads of wheat grain
Life's bran what never stripped.

Not to be rough

Be hard put to it for how many lives.

10

ONE FORM AFTER PASS BY

10

Age is twelve years old
Name is novice.

Pounding treadmill half a day
Chopping firewood another half a day.

It was thing heard a bird's crying
From time to time
Ten years or twenty years since then
Today it has been flown already for forty years.

Living in the mountain
No seeing the mountain.

Anything but bird's crying
Could not hear even my crying

COMING OUT OF CONCENTRATION

The day on which insects appear from their holes in the
earth, a frog
The frog with its crying.

Heap up
Calling me sitting in the room.

Mountain and wild nature
Green trees frozen
Extravasate blood got dissolved.

10) It means middle way philosophy which is an ultimate world of the

whole equality beyond all opposition and distinction.

11

CATCHING INDICATION

Master, beating the dharma drum
Before giving the alter dharma talk.

Six or seven years old child
Hearing the sound stopping ears.

Said to me, hearing the rolls of thunder
Holding my hands calmly.

I SEE ME

Sitting in Mugum Seon

11

hall

I look me.

A crawling bug
Spreads and curls its body

Nibble away everything
evacuates
blow eggs.

FOR NIRVANA

A fellow who does not know pleasure
how does he know pleasure of death.

Anyhow a bug
Is it not a crawling insect.

I will become feed for a bird
Where living in the forest.

11) Mugum Seon hall is belong to Baekdam Monastery where is located in

Mt. Inner Serak.
Master Oh-hyun's resident meditation hermitage where he wrote this
poem.

12

SEEING SPRING THREE THEMES

1.

Unknown of the Spring
Red eruption come out in the groin of my body
molar tooth are fallen fest because of that
my unknown of the edge of the sky
oh! getting out of my body!

2.

History of the Spring
The tongue sword what cut my word
even chopping horse sword,
sensual charming poisoned mushroom
which snatches away my sole
hell! to brought to fruition at the night of the
spring day.

3.

Merry hell of the Spring
Thirsty. thirsty.
Withering and drying of my life what is gong down
When every year spring comes
The flower shall come this year as a scene with
the disturbance.

A DAY AT GOHYANGDANG

On the two storied floor at Gohyangdang

12

where the

sun shines
Hanging down a curtain plaited a bamboo strip
A day called today as it is glimmers.

Wall paintings hanging slightly slanting,
Piece of a Taoist hermit with supernatural powers
An old ferryman flows together with a fisher-boat let go
of a paddle
I became again so soon the setting sun.

12) Gohyangdang is Seon Masters Room at Naksansa Temple in Yangyang

City. It means ancient smell house.

13

MOUNTAIN BUSINESS 1

At ridges in our temple farm
a jujube tree struck by thunderbolt

what kind of sin does it have?
the fellow who will be exposed to thunderbolt is me.

With this kind of thinking today
I spent a day.

MOUNTAIN BUSINESS 2

Inquiring after Ven. Haejang at Haejang temple
About the mountain business.
Wild ducks played in the lotus pond yesterday
At the western residence of the superior of the temple.
He said, " Today the shadow of cornelian cherry
Is submerged."

MOUNTAIN BUSINESS 3

Hearing bird's crying sound
at half a day in the forest.

listening to the sound of the sea
in the seashore at a quarter of a day.

When do I become to hear
my crying sound?

14

A HANDFULL OF ASHES

Scattering old dharma friend in a handfull of ashes
about the cremating place yesterday and
the day before yesterday,
blown the crying someone sobbed away.

That place, tombstone lying down seems
to be given away on the roadside
sprouted out dark spots on a stone which has breathing
I came down from there as peeping into for sometime.

What will be left behind me some time after I go?
Does cuckoo's sorrow in which forest make feel sad ?
There is only a handfull of ashes what I sprinkled
on considering carefully.

THE DAY LIVING IN THE MOUNTAIN

The age became the sun ready
revealed thought as the backbone bent all
today guessed the stump falling on the side.

As being called at hancheonsa temple
on Ven. Hancheon the day before yesterday,
I asked him what enjoyment with living.
He told me to strike the cloud board
once no telling as a word.

Now really, the day living in the mountain
crying as herbage insects a day,
smiling as flower plant a day
and only see the flow which ended the flow.

15

WITH MICHEON

13

DALE STORY

I have been to Seonnim garden temple site
at Yangyang land in Gangwon province.
Saying that there were over
one thousand monks lived for a while,
turned around, turned around for some time.

A piece of stone was stupa, a stupa was a stone,
put a hand on upside down lotus stone given away.
How much suffering remained can be stupa body?

There was a temple what the temple was collapsed.
With Micheon dale story as
holiday makers enjoyed all summer long.

OPENING THE MOUNTAIN WINDOW

Opening the mountain window opening
the Avatamsaka sutra,
unknown various birds read out it already
flying over easily between this tree and the other tree......

A leaf of grass separately, a herbage insect separately,
big and small trees and big and small mountain, beasts,
the sky, the earth, all this everything and these all lives.....

Geting joined together become one, become one
shown as being revealed the body
shines mutually shine in individual mouth......

13) This is a place where is located in Yangyang city.

16

NEARER RECITE

The first chapter of demise amusement

At one time, Seon Master Choeui said,

"The way of the worldly living is like to make tea alone
or together."
Life is nothing peculiar. Just take a cup of tea and go.
I assure the place where to stay is like a tavern in a
fishing village.
A day I become a servant, another a day I become a
servant girl.
At any time, the thing is fond of begging kitchen refuse
as it is.

WINTER MOUNTAIN BEASTS

Taking red-bean gruel on the winter solstice and put all
demons out of the door,
Fallen asleep during reading Master Joju's analects.

Snow damaged tree with a snapping sound,

Deepen into loneness with a far-away mountain.

WAVES

Reciting Buddhist sutras,
Seeing the stars in the night sky,

Listening to
Crying of the offing alone,

Thousand sutras and ten thousand theories are,
All is waves risen by the wind.

17

THE SETTING SUN IN INCHEON

14

BAY

Water was likely deep red that day evening distinctively,
Living on the float by the waves when the tide is in or
out,
The old fisherman was
not seen as soon as the following day.

ANOTHER COUNTRYSIDE

The highest castle in the world,
Again the biggest royal palace,
All kinds of sky of the desired world,
Living put on a quilt,
When the breath of life become exhausted,
It is only a traveling night.

An unfamiliar inn in a fishing village,
Lying down my head on ten thousand waves,
till stop of the sound of the sea,
Even though fall asleep,
When awake from sleep again,
It is only a traveling night.

As a matter of fact, life of this world,
The all is an another countryside,
No where to go and come,
No one knows,
Exhausting family accompanied,
The place is as a day laborer.

14) One of the biggest port in Korea in the West Coast in Yellow sea side.

18

A PASQUEFLOWER

My mother digging up edible plants
sunny place farm in the early spring,
Beautifully trimmed, black hair becomes white,
Now returning to the soil as a piece of ashes,
sorrow is fallen asleep.

Exhausted life for waiting, this spring has gone over.
Rising lover's shape when closed the eyes,
Oh! the day forgotten maternal affection, a bent flower!
Holding its hands under the heaven,
poverty received as seed,
Long, long day even if hungry, what sin is it?
The spring returning mountain desolated,
The pasqueflower bowed the head.

SWALLOW NEST

In front of utmost love of a high mountain,
Light a lamp of the sun and the moon,

Connived all things in the universe,
The heart of the Moon is never risen.

Occasionally gently wind blows.
A scops owl cried and gone.

19

A MOUNTAIN PEONY

Of the gods even though,
A life can not be thrown away.

Neither rising nor going down,
Just as it is, an attracting mountain peony.

Deep longing than a valley,
Leaves are folded up.

A WINTER TEMPLE

A mountain monk is as like as aquamarine.
A temple is as like as mountain light.
Deep dream and deepness of the valley,
A mental image submerged.

A MOUNTAIN MONK 1

Seems to be rather lonely
Discontinued round,

Near the mountain window closing the gate,
Mind brightly coming up,

Throughout his life,
Thus it is bright and lonely.

20

A MOUNTAIN MONK 2

Is my life a migratory bird?
Having a seat moved in following season,

Cried out in the mountain yesterday,
Having risen on the vast blue sea today,

Which sky again tomorrow,
where does feathers throw down.

A MOUNTAIN MONK 3

Once a monk student,
There is no other way left to him,

He wrote some calligraphy on the hanging board
of one pillar gate at Haeinsa

15

temple.

Who will hold a writing brush
relying life on true void?

ENJOYING THE MOON

The wind made a pine grove cry.
The pine grove is fallen asleep.

The wind risen in the bamboo grove,
The bamboo grove's breathe is gentle.

The moon going around the empty sky,
It is bright disinterestedly.

15) One of the three jewel temples in Korean buddhism and this temple is

called Dharma temple where Koreana Tripitaka is being kept.

21

STATE OF MIND IN THE AFTERNOON

The skies cleared away glow light,
The mountain shade is taken down.

The mountain range sat down,
The river where is submerged over there.

Life is a sort of a journey.
A stick is heavy.

Variegated State of mind in the afternoon,
The wings of mental image trembling,

The warble in the winter sky,
A reed pipe gathered and gone away.

Now a sheet of sky,
Hung on the empty sky.

22

COME TO THE SNOW MOUNTAIN

The night added displeasure no rising the moon,
Roared and fallen In the screaming of the big beast,
Why I came to see holding an armful of snowstorm?

How compares man's closed golden mouth
with a shout of one more shout?
Is there no wish in life what is thrown away ?
Scolding avalanche, how the world fearful and chilly is!
Yesterdays performed a surgical operation
inscribed a stone with better feeling,
As it was confused in the remote origin.
Remained a pain in the hands grasped a stick.

This burying and
lonesome what the world beyond refused,
As it is, turning back by oneself implacable,
Wishing to burn up mark retraced
the top of snow mountain without hill slope.

To feel fight! incomplete life, I could not hear my crying.
A mowing grave can not be remained.
I groped the way to go for drawing
remote roc picture thoughtful to that extent only.

23

NOTION OF TOMORROW

The left day going and coming
often patterned flower cloud,
The shade leaving with aquamarine mountain and field,
Anywhere is not open the lonely earth of the world?

Sending the sun and the moon over
the top of the mountain fallen leaves,
Being burned in a red sky having originally,
Can the way of this world
where feet is exhausted not
reach the world beyond?

Wishing bury even blue mountain
in high pine forest where a crane sat.
The moonlight traced twelve valley not going ???
Coming back again,
Does the shade deep mountain window put ?

TEMPLE TRAVELER´S JOURNAL

1. THE WAY FORWARD

Water flows and comes down.
The way looks down and goes up.

White cloud on the rock,
Having a seat on it sank feet in the water.

My mind is in the open minded valley.
A cuckoo is crying.

16) This temple is under Jogye Order of korean Buddhism located at

Kimcheon city in Gyeongsangbukdo province.

24

2. THE NOT TWO GATE

Over the mountain and glow,

Evening set the sun and the moon,

A wish staying at,
Even so all burned up,

The wind remained long suggestiveness.
My heart opened.

3. SITTING BUDDHA

How is it heavy?
Sitting mind is seated.

No talking reason,
Lightening the sun and the moon.

Keeping the lower edges of the blue mountain,
The Buddha's head flower lightened dream.

4. A BLUE CRANE

SEON MASTER YOUNGHEOR

Leaving yellow mountain behind him,
As lover's wish for one hundred years.

When he is lonely then, the lower edges of day light is.
When he enjoys himself then, the moon sky is.

Any stretch of the heaven edges,
Does the thousand dharma go over?

25

5. STONE LANTERN

Cold stone and hot helping hand,
light a lamp with collecting wishes.

Burning breathing in the darkness,
Pine wind falls asleep.

Burning a great mountain all night,
Myself, alone! A scops owl!

6. COLD LAMP

MASTER, WHITE WATER

Yellow mountain put forth far away.
Being submerged in the outside of the sky.

Empty wild field in Gumnung,
Reed wind get scattered.

The night rising the moon in the nine thousand long
distance,
A cold lamp is burning.

7. MIND MOON

Pile after pile, highest loft,
Above the lotus lantern lightened,

Standing on tiptoe again one,
Rising mind moon touched my heart.

Darkness is get out of the way.
Walk whole this night.

26

DEAREST WISH IN 1950

It is a leaf of oviparity coming up through marshy lump.
Before yellowing leaves, because neck feels thirsty.
Let it live holding between mooring of the breath of life.

It is a weak stem not growing up by oneself.
As breathing hard gaspingly, fragrant scent risen up.
Let it laugh even bees came and buzz and buzz.

A notion spines round, karma comes deeply.
In order to slough off entirely, like a hatching pupa,
Let body wash under the shade
of a weeping willow empty minded.

SPRING IN 1950

Tired out the fourth leap month,
it rains evening after evening.
When bites knuckle then blood
comes out like dyed artemisia.
The azalea burns out at the edge of my mother's grave.

Effloresced and again effloresced,
as like that mountains and streams suffered a bruise,
As a wound as in the heart rising very lightly,
There is a crying cuckoo over the pass of a village shrine.

27

WORD OF ENDING KARMA

Open mountain's eye once,
At the closing day of his life.

At the head of mother's bed,
Tears only left behind her life.
As it was, mother had not the heart
To closing her eyes!

Knitting cloth of the heaven skirt,
She will put it on only once and go!

Knowing returning to where,
When she received her life!

Funeral odes!
More brighter than pine tree's light in a graveyard.

As looking up, full in the heaven,
Thought remained after filling up.

By chance sorrow what confessed
in front of the Buddha
Might be disappeared.

Maternal affection brought up
a son- and-daughter seven some,
Being become the river and overflown.

28

A RECORD OF KWANUM

17

AN ABSTRACT;

A dream lighten up a candle flows,
Dyed a lotus flower,

Having a last bath,
A lotus flower sitting stand which one can not sit!

Listening to sound of sorrow,
A Bodhisattva who can not go-.

Grasped a Buddhist rosary of 108 beads,
The more considering, more heavy.

Scattering abut conception,
It is threading beads berry after berry.

Standing in the yard,
This pure land where watching!

17) Avalokite?vara (Sanskrit: ???????????? , lit. "Lord who looks down") is

a bodhisattva who embodies the compassion of all Buddhas. He is the
one of the more widely revered bodhisattvas in mainstream Mahayana
Buddhism. In China and its sphere of cultural influence, Avalokite?vara
is often depicted in a female form known as Guan Yin.(It should be
noted that in Taoist mythology, Guan Yin has other origination stories
which are unrelated to Avalokite?vara.)

29

COMBAT NIGHT MOON

Poverty is red blood.
Be brimful of water.

A sitting place where the Great Bear sits.
The ridge what the night was good!

The lower ends of white clothes in tears,
The Yimjin river got washed out.

In a little cuckoo's sorrow,
The two hearts were fatigued.

The crying In a spider's web,
The desired moon rises.

In accordance with bright and standing shade,
Looking old landscape again.

30

DAYDREAM

A white balloon flower in the mountain
and the dandelion in the wild field,

Remote memory in my hometown
is face hung down in a well.

Wishing to meet some day
Soonyi who revolved at the ridge of the wall.

Even I do not know wormwood's fragrance
which is gently begun to rise.
Hill moon remote 4km's distance is too bright.

A small village coming out stepping
on a portrait not get rid of.

Not enough to be filled with drinking,
unforgettably empty a glass this night.

A jar having a burning feeling in the stomach,
somewhere anxiety spreads,

An echo hangs over the place where awaken from sleep.

Even if living the world wrongly,
to the last water drawn from the well early at dawn
A candle stick, a vessel of boiled rice,
what maternal grandmother prayed,
A price who is not able to play beside
the stone statue the very day.

31

CHERRY FLOWER

My name from early years,
A wild apricot in a filthy place covered
with dog droppings here and there,

Racketing spring with bees and butterflies,
Not knowing flowers,

The day Soonyi goes over the wall.
Known blood is red.

CHILDREN IN MT. NAMSAN DALE

Children in Mt. Namsan dale,
Winter covered with white snow is gone,

4 km is remote distance.
Entering to the mountain,

Holding a meadow bunting's egg nest,
Come after eating moon light.

THE SUN AND THE MOON

The sky is high to that extent.
The sea is deep to this extent.

Horizontality the sun of the day is submerged.
Flower cloud is dyed.

As like closed but being opened the heaven gate.
Oh my goodness! The moon is rising from the east.

THE SEA

Cloud the bright sun burns,
Pumping up with peony blossom.

A rainstorm and the rolling of thunder,
Waves of rolling time and tide.

When a wild goose's feathers expands.
Mind is bobbed up and down.

EARLY SPRING

A plantain leaf half day at my western window
in the early spring,
Mental image! as like paper used
in preparing a round a rough copy stained with ink,
Raindrops fall in the sunshine burning
with a furrow in a tiled roof.

FACING SPIRIT

The period of lesser cold,
intense cold and onset of spring have gone.

So anger melted away nearly.

A dangerous high range carrying wind snow on the head
in the remote sky,

Stands as like sound of crying.

Stand my last resistance like that.

A SPROUT

Again reopening eyes' glitter,
The place where the sky inhaled deeply.
Sparks revived,

The place where the stars given a sharp side long glance.
Finally May green is lapping life.

PATHETIC SCENE

Yard seems to be a sitting site,
Bright circumstance flowering,
Overflowing with gathering,
Leading azure,
Rising suddenly to the high sky,
The Shrine Hall of the main temple seems to fly.
Dispersing a thornbush,
When a path opens outside of the entrance of
a mountain.
Even the countries bordering on
Western China is the end of the extended eaves.
Being unable to do with words.
Hanging the bell of a Buddhist temple on a loft,
A verse couplet carved pillars.
Building up with putting hands together,
Over the round Buddhist stupa,
A wisp of the smoke of incense burning,
burning agony.
The vow is exceeding a Buddhist preaching court,
A wakening big wooden drum!

24) Baizhang Huaihai (Chinese: ????; pinyin: B?izhàng Huáihái; Wade-

Giles: Pai-chang Huai-hai; Japanese: Hyakujo Ekai) (720-814) was a
Chinese Zen master during the Tang Dynasty. He was a dharma heir of
Mazu Daoyi (Wade-Giles: Ma-tsu Tao-i). Baizhang's students included
Huangbo and Lingyu.
Traditional Chan/Zen mythology holds Baizhang established an early
set of rules for Chan (Chinese Zen) monastic discipline, the Pure Rules
of Huai Hai, which are used today in many Zen monasteries, but in
reality these rules developed much later in Chan history.
Baizhang is remembered for the aphorism: "A day without work is a
day without food." His teachings and sayings have been translated by
Thomas Cleary in Sayings and Doings of Pai-Chang (1978). Another
book translated by John Blofeld in 'The Zen Teachings of Instaneous
Awakening (1987) Buddhist Publishing Group, Totnes, has been erro-
neously attributed by some to Baizhang Huaihai, but was in fact a
work by his dharma brother, Ta-chu Hui-hai

TEN OX HERDING PICTURES

1. SEARCH OF THE BULL
Someone has stamped right and
left's thumbmark on my forehead.
Who has searched for making me?
My direction which can not find out
by millions of money with prize money.

An arrow not to be seen with a thousand eyes.
An arrow no to hold even arms reaches to the knee,
A thief gone with an arrow
as having taken an axe of slaughter house.

2. DISCOVERY OF THE FOOTPRINTS
A noted doctor.
thief's mind unknown feeling the pulse for diagnosis.
Without a any legal seal, gone away to sell even the sky,
mess with blood trace
obscene conversation
tread water world hidden trace
A sterile woman bankruptcy
The fish that tear a fishing net is catched again.

3. PERCEIVING THE BULL
A shade standing after taking off
the halter shined shadow last night,
To reign a lacerated wound
as a first offender of the formless?
I have not paid yet debts of life with born.
Hectic palpitation who is suffering at a grave of the heaven.
To go the outside of a funeral village without bier bearers.
A son who is mother's guilty love, uncultivating of the life.

33) Musan is Master Oh-hyun's pen name.

45

4. CATCHING THE BULL
Clutched a nose ring without life and a snare,
How many steps wondering to seek the penal code to tie,
Burglar, life crying with cold thunder not being seen dead.

No perforating target returning crying arrowhead,
Tingling electric shock the color of the skin,
Could not dying as being entangled a hinge of this heaven
and earth.

5. TAMING THE BULL
There is no stone, grass, wasteland of castle,
Have cultivated as like punishment without a plough,
a plow share,
Do not know staying out even if the heaven is crying.

It is time to make sealing two letters of name lastly.
It is sea no measuring any sounding lead.
The flesh of a rice field requiring
a seom of seed again returning.

6. RIDING THE BULL HOME
Rain stoped as sound of gong,
the day water roaring high at the valley sky.
This news loading in full bloom of a laugh,
Wonder where to bury soul
at which family tradition at the hometown.

The dead word no reviving in criminal trace living,
The word getting out of running away
following live secret selling.
Yang and Yin's carving
which can not carve holding a burin.

46

7. THE BULL TRANSCENDED

If I have fine for default of hundred won,
good world spiting out,

Even swallowing a hook, is there any hindrance?

A thought has been away what I had lived.

The point of a sword of the world
I can go to as closing eyes.

The sword mountain of the world
beyond intending to ten million swords.

All selling this world or the world beyond,
day by day chewing the cud.

8. BOTH BULL AND SELF TRANSCENDED

He he! Ha-ha, eu he he! eu Ho! ho!
Ha-ha! eu ha-ha!
haw-haw!

Psoriasis no medicine spread over the whole body.

Previous life's eyes stuck
in the sexagenary cycle counting with hands.

The three thousand world destroyed
with a thought and a stick.

47

9. REACHING THE SOURCE

Lived with a sterile woman and to given birth to a butcher,

Meaning living in the rate of interest,

I confined in prison me not trusting myself,

To be raped for several kalpas(eternity), dear me!

I am still a chastity child

A stone lion in wayside bit the top of my foot,

There is no a general to make the world
fallen in surprise stand,

Myself getting up and sitting, try touching living!

10. RETURN TO SOCIETY

A market having the shoulder money belt
Getting to like fish smell,

To live getting a concubine, throwing away a legal wife,
Wooden shoes, the wooden shoes,
still well off after giving one.

To sold a wife for the sum of three hundred won,
To sold two eyes for the sum of three hundred won,

A leper, a real leper who is going to begging for food
a barley field at right angles to the ridges
and ditches the sun rising.

asked me ' Why does Bodhidharma have not a beard ? '

Even if giving the all countries bordering on Western

To have taken a thing out at the close of a marketplace
of the world.

Be cheated all free share of the winnings to hereditary karma,

The sky is too clean. So it is dyeing.

Fingernails and toenails holding

DHARMA PICTURE–6

Remote notice debt driven away all ending housekeeping,
Life of one´s only suit, even heavy for the shoulder,
Running away to the different direction

A bamboo which pictured with dipping by an ink-stick,
Riding to trace back to cleaning and calming waves.

Living is tickle and scratching by fingernails.
A boil is deep at place where a trace went past.

DHARMA'S PICTURE–9

No matter how glared fiercely
may not glared eyes of sword body.
When nailed dust seed can not see a world.
An exorcism to ward off any evil influence that

THE END OF RETREAT SUMMARY–1

YANG NOBLE QUEEN'S MIND

To gathered the sky's light all,
A Dharma stick is empty.

A desired world, again a desired world,
Dancing cloud sky,
Over the state of neither notion nor no notion,

Gathered as it is gathered,
This sleepiness for this day,

Shaking the color of a flame,
Lonely flowing,

A severe winter season
It is not enlightened tree.

All the joints of trans·mis·sing mind,
The sense of touch trembling,

Can you hear sound of calling a little king?
A loud voice inner palace,

Blind
Lingering sound winding around

Yang noble queen longing fruit
a stalactite, a stalactite,

52

THE END OF RETREAT SUMMARY–2

IN FRONT OF LIFE AND DEATH

As sitting in lightening spirit
To commit to the flame,

Suddenly honored mind,
When it is enlightened, when it is enlightened,

Relying on sleep slightly,
Is life or death?

Rather an enemy,
I wish I were standing opposite each other.
There is no an opponent to be a surrender.
Pardon for me

Finally the place to win for fighting,
This Asura's

35

forum

How ugly,
Catch a dagger again!

Human a life
Like this better feeling

In front of life and death energetic
Facing to wall

35) In Hinduism, the Asura (Sanskrit: ????) are worshipped as deities

among the Hindu dharma. Asuras were considered to be a group of
power-seeking deities, sometimes referred to as devas or demi-gods.
Some Asuras were corrupted while some were gods in heaven. Both
are children of Kashyapa.. Asuras should not be confused with
Pishachas, or demons.

53

THE END OF RETREAT SUMMARY–3

DHARMA FACING TO WALL

Rounding the sky of the countries bordering
on Western China in the body,
The glitter of one´s eyes drunken crow's blood,

Sticked out the tip of the tongue,
Buddha and patriarch have died

The day, the night of the eastland,
In advance to be dawn, no sit up all night

Looking up, a mallet,
One sun, One moon,

Riding a reed
Another attachment crossing of a river

He become a reed,
Shaking the wind.

some Buddhist texts, such as the Platform Sutra, that are called sutras

A RAIL TIE

No matter how facing a dark world may live get forced down,
Even then abandoned when useless,
Offered long history orbit me too again,
Again a piece of a rail tie, solidarity.

To have to be remained as a forever home to the end,
A stump being rotten the foot of Mt. Taebaek
There is seismic intensity
shaking the axis of the earth day to live.

See! in order to live only for live,
Broken down how the truthful bones are;
How many people live an obscure life.

Although labor relying on reigning,
At the slightest slip the ground
To the last
There is Heaven, there is history.

BARLEY THRESHING COURTYARD

To go to a threshing courtyard,
There is a sever thing.
The farm hardship period former years,
Grinded because of hunger
Yet hung in my throat
Green barley prickle.

If a man
To govern by a flail,
To have been living for forty years wrongly
How many straw bags of my sin,
Thresh and shaking down
To wish to put in.

MY FRIEND KIM

ROCK

To gone to a threshing courtyard
As much as high debt heap
Barley straw bags,
To set fired
The sin like wasting blasted ears.

PUBLIC NOTICE IN 1980(4)

LOST DAY
Grasp a top whip with thought of youth life time,
As looking back the past time,
looks like a criminal holding a whip,
Put down everything like bad mind during the living day.

A day that man, as a great man lost bad mind,
A top whip goes round on the icy road,
Of course, water flows under the icy.

39) Kim is one of commonest family in korea clan.
